Motor function and fALFF modulation in convalescent-period ischemic stroke patients after scalp acupuncture therapy: a multi-centre randomized controlled trial

CONCLUSION: Scalp acupuncture improved motor function in convalescent-period ischemic stroke patients, and effects were correlated with regulation of motor-relevant brain regions. The fALFF value of the ipsilateral precentral and postcentral gyri could be potential clinical indices for prognostication of motor dysfunction.TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT03120650 (http://www.clinicaltrials.gov).PMID:35673804 | DOI:10.1177/09645284221086289
