An overview of the evidence to guide decision-making in acupuncture therapies for early recovery after acute ischemic stroke

ConclusionsIn the acute and early recovery phases after AIS onset, acupuncture is a promising therapeutic strategy to improve the curative effect of current treatments, especially in the recovery of neurological function. Patients in the acute phase might receive XNKQ Ac, and patients in the early recovery phase might receive EA1, CA, or SA. However, considering the current certainty of evidence, a solid recommendation warrants further exploration.Systematic review registration:https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/PROSPERO/, identifier CRD42022335426.
