Acupuncture treatment for ischaemic stroke in young adults: protocol for a randomised, sham-controlled clinical trial
Introduction Stroke in young adults is not uncommon. Although the overall incidence of stroke has been recently declining, the incidence of stroke in young adults is increasing. Traditional vascular risk factors are the main cause of young ischaemic stroke. Acupuncture has been shown to benefit stroke rehabilitation and ameliorate the risk factors for stroke. The aims of this study were to determine whether acupuncture treatment will be effective in improving the activities of daily living (ADL), motor function and quality of life (QOL) in patients of young ischaemic stroke, and in preventing stroke recurrence by controlli...

Acupuncture for acute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: This updated review indicates that apparently improved outcomes with acupuncture in acute stroke are confounded by the risk of bias related to use of open controls. Adverse events related to acupuncture were reported to be minor and usually did not result in stopping treatment. Future studies are needed to confirm or refute any effects of acupuncture in acute stroke. Trials should clearly report the method of randomization, concealment of allocation, and whether blinding of participants, personnel, and outcome assessors was achieved, while paying close attention to the effects of acupuncture on long-term funct...

Swallowing therapy for dysphagia in acute and subacute stroke.
CONCLUSIONS: Moderate- and low-quality evidence suggests that swallowing therapy did not have a significant effect on the outcomes of death or dependency/disability, case fatality at the end of the trial, or penetration aspiration score. However, swallowing therapy may have reduced length of hospital stay, dysphagia, and chest infections, and may have improved swallowing ability. However, these results are based on evidence of variable quality, involving a variety of interventions. Further high-quality trials are needed to test whether specific interventions are effective.

Efficacy of frequently-used acupuncture methods for specific parts and conventional pharmaceutical interventions in treating post-stroke depression patients: A network meta-analysis
CONCLUSIONS: 12 acupuncture methods may be effective and safe in improving the condition of patients with PSD. Higher quality randomized controlled trials need sufficient evidence because the overall quality of included trials can only be classified as low quality. This study is registered with PROSPERO (CRD42020177099).PMID:34371213 | DOI:10.1016/j.ctcp.2021.101471

And the rehabilitation training has been widely used for patients suffer from stroke. However, whether eye-acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training has greater clinical efficacy for poststroke dyskinesia is still unknown. Our aim in this systematic review was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of eye-acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training (EACRT) as a treatment for dyskinesia after stroke.
