Acupuncture, in combination with rehabilitation training, has been found to be effective in the treatment of post-stroke spastic hemiplegia, according to an article titled “Acupuncture Helps Stroke Recovers—NewResearch,” re-published in the August 15 edition of HOPE and taken from the August 7 edition of Healthcmi. The article is authored by Zhang, Yan, Guo-cheng Liu, Jin-yu Wang, Yun-guang Sun, and Liu-jiang Yang. It is taken from the paper titled “Clinical observation on acupuncture treatment for post-stroke spastic hemiplegia,” in the Journal of Acupuncture and Tuina Science 11. The paper concludes that acupuncture is effective in the treatment of spasticity and paralysis due to stroke, effectively reducing spastic hemiplegia, paralysis on one side of the body with muscle and tendon spasms in stroke victims.
