Acupuncture for Post-stroke Shoulder-Hand Syndrome: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Conclusions: Acupuncture therapy seems effective for motor function, pain relief and activities of daily living in stroke patients with mild SHS, when it is used in combination with rehabilitation. The low certainty of evidence downgrades our confidence in making recommendations to clinical practice. Introduction Shoulder-hand syndrome (SHS) is a common condition among people who have had a stroke, with its reported prevalence ranging from 12% to 49% (1, 2).

Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) for stroke recovery.
CONCLUSIONS SSRIs appeared to improve dependence, disability, neurological impairment, anxiety and depression after stroke, but there was heterogeneity between trials and methodological limitations in a substantial proportion of the trials. Large, well-designed trials are now needed to determine whether SSRIs should be given routinely to patients with stroke. PMID: 23903272 [PubMed - in process]

Decreased risk of acute myocardial infarction in stroke patients receiving acupuncture treatment: a nationwide matched retrospective cohort study
Conclusions: We raised the possibility that acupuncture may be effective in lowering the risk of AMI in stroke patients aged 50–69 in this study, which was limited by a lack of information regarding stroke severity and acupuncture points. Our results suggest that prospective randomized trials are needed to establish the efficacy of acupuncture in preventing AMI.

Decreased Risk of Stroke in People Using Red Yeast Rice Prescriptions (LipoCol Forte ®): a Total Population-Based Retrospective Cohort Study
This study showed a potentially positive effect of RYR on the risk of stroke. However, compliance with medication use should be cautioned. The findings of this study require future studies to validate the beneficial effects of RYR prescription on stroke risk.PMID:35502179 | PMC:PMC9056220 | DOI:10.1155/2022/8160425

The add-on effect of dengzhan shengmai capsules on secondary prevention of ischemic stroke: A multicentre, randomised, placebo-controlled clinical trial.
CONCLUSIONS: The addition of DZSM capsules to standard secondary preventive agents provides additional benefits after the initial onset of ischemic stroke, reducing recurrent stroke without increasing severe adverse events. However, further study is needed to elucidate the role of DZSM on the updated practice of conventional secondary prevention for ischemic stroke. PMID: 31519277 [PubMed - in process]

Ischemic Stroke and Dysbiosis of Gut Microbiota: Changes to LPS Levels and Effects on Functional Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Dysbiosis of gut microbiota and LPS and inflammatory-factor levels can increase AIS patients' subsequent risks for poor functional outcomes, indicating that the dysbiosis and levels could be potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets for stroke.PMID:37083652
