Abstract

Stroke episodes represent a significant subset of cerebrovascular diseases globally, often resulting in diverse neurological impairments such as hemiparesis, spasticity, dysphagia, sensory dysfunction, cognitive impairment, depression, aphasia, and other sequelae. These dysfunctions markedly diminish patients' quality of life and impose substantial burdens on their families and society. Consequently, the restoration of neurological function post-stroke remains a primary objective of clinical treatment. Acupuncture, a traditional Chinese medicine technique, is endorsed by the World Health Organization (WHO) for stroke treatment due to its distinct advantages in managing cerebrovascular diseases, including ischemic stroke. Numerous clinical studies have substantiated the efficacy of acupuncture in ameliorating neurological dysfunctions following stroke. This review systematically examines the improvements in post-stroke neurological dysfunction attributable to acupuncture treatment and elucidates potential mechanisms of action proposed in recent years. Additionally, this article aims to present novel therapeutic concepts and strategies for the clinical management of post-stroke neurological dysfunction.

针灸是治疗中风后神经功能障碍的有效方法。
在全球范围内,脑卒中是脑血管疾病的一个重要分支,通常会导致各种神经功能损伤,如偏瘫、痉挛、吞咽困难、感觉功能障碍、认知障碍、抑郁、失语和其他后遗症。这些功能障碍明显降低了患者的生活质量,并给其家庭和社会带来沉重负担。因此,恢复中风后的神经功能仍是临床治疗的首要目标。针灸作为一种传统的中医疗法,因其在治疗包括缺血性中风在内的脑血管疾病方面的独特优势,被世界卫生组织(WHO)认可用于中风的治疗。大量临床研究证实了针灸在改善中风后神经功能障碍方面的疗效。本综述系统研究了针灸治疗对中风后神经功能障碍的改善作用,并阐明了近年来提出的潜在作用机制。此外,本文还旨在为中风后神经功能障碍的临床治疗提出新的治疗理念和策略。

期刊介绍: The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal''s scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.
