Revealing the Neuroimaging Mechanism of Acupuncture for Poststroke Aphasia: A Systematic Review
CONCLUSION: In this systematic review, we found that the mechanism of acupuncture's effect might be associated with the activation and functional connectivity of language-related brain areas, such as brain areas around Broca's area and Wernicke's area in the left inferior temporal gyrus, supramarginal gyrus, middle frontal gyrus, and inferior frontal gyrus. However, these studies were still in the preliminary stage. Multicenter randomized controlled trials (RCT) with large sample sizes were needed to verify current evidence, as well as to explore deeply the neuroimaging mechanisms of acupuncture's effects.PMID:35494482 | P...

Why Acupuncture Is Going Mainstream in Medicine
When the opioid addiction crisis began to surge in the U.S. about a decade ago, Dr. Medhat Mikhael spent a lot of time talking to his patients about other ways to heal pain besides opioids, from other types of medications to alternative treatments. As a pain management specialist at MemorialCare Orange Coast Medical Center in Fountain Valley, Calif., he didn’t anticipate leaving behind the short-term use of opioids altogether, since they work so well for post-surgical pain. But he wanted to recommend a remedy that was safer and still effective. That turned out to be acupuncture. “Like any treatment, acupuncture...

Functional Remodeling Associated With Language Recovery After Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation in Chronic Aphasic Stroke
ConclusionWe reported the therapeutic effects of LF-rTMS and corresponding functional remodeling in chronic poststroke aphasia. Our results provided neuroimage evidence reflecting the rebalance of interhemispheric inhibition induced by LF-rTMS, which could facilitate future research in the refinement of rTMS protocol to optimize the neuromodulation efficacy and benefit the clinical management of patients with stroke.

Cost-effectiveness of speech and language therapy plus scalp acupuncture versus speech and language therapy alone for community-based patients with Brocas aphasia after stroke: a post hoc analysis of data from a randomised controlled trial
Conclusions Compared with speech and language therapy alone, the addition of scalp acupuncture was cost-effective in Chinese communities. As the costs of acupuncture services in China are likely to differ from other countries, these results should be carefully interpreted and remain to be confirmed in other populations. Trial registration number ChiCTR-TRC-13003703.

Bridging Therapy for Acute Stroke as the Initial Manifestation of Takayasu Arteritis: A Case Report and Review of Literature
We report a rare case of a patient with TA initially presenting with AIS treated with bridging therapy with full recovery of neurological function. Bridging therapy should be taken into consideration for AIS in patients with TA. Further study is needed in this regard.

Evaluating the Long-Term Efficacy of Acupuncture Therapy for Subacute Poststroke Aphasia: Study Protocol for a Randomized, Blinded, Controlled, Multicentre Trial
Discussion. The results from our trial will help to supply evidence for the long-term acupuncture effects for PSA over a long follow-up period. It will provide valuable information for future studies in the field of PSA treatment. The trial was registered at the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry on 16 March 2020 (ChiCTR2000030879).PMID:33628323 | PMC:PMC7895559 | DOI:10.1155/2021/8880590

NeuroAid II (MLC901) in Haemorrhagic Stroke
Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. NeuroAid (MLC601), which originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine, comprises herbal and animal components, and has been shown to improve the functional status of patients after ischaemic stroke. The use of NeuroAid II (MLC901), which comprises only the herbal components of MLC601, in haemorrhagic stroke has not been previously reported. Our patient is a 63-year-old male with a significant stroke risk factor of hypertension. He developed visual field defect, aphasia, unilateral weakness, and hemisensory loss. CT scan showed a left thalamic haemorrhage. In addition to an...

Correlation Between Speech Repetition Function and the Arcuate Fasciculus in the Dominant Hemisphere Detected by Diffusion Tensor Imaging Tractography in Stroke Patients with Aphasia.
CONCLUSIONS We found that unintegrated left arcuate fasciculus might be related to the repetition dysfunction after stroke, especially sentence repetition deficit, which suggests that sentence repetition evaluation could be used to indicate the integrity of the arcuate fasciculus in the dominant hemisphere after stroke.

Characteristics of Non-linguistic Cognitive Impairment in Post-stroke Aphasia Patients
Conclusion: Compared with stroke patients without aphasia, patients with PSA often have more extensive and serious non-linguistic cognitive impairments. Patients with non-fluent aphasia often present with serious cognitive impairments than those with fluent aphasia, especially the impairments of orientation and SP. Non-linguistic cognitive impairments correlate with language impairments in aphasia.
