A Critical Overview of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses on Acupuncture for Poststroke Insomnia.
Conclusions: All included reviews indicated that acupuncture was more effective than the control group for the treatment of PSI, but the credibility of the results is limited owing to the generally low methodological and evidence quality of the included SRs/MAs. More high-quality evidence is needed to determine whether acupuncture is more effective than other treatments. PMID: 33101437 [PubMed]

Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation in treating post-stroke insomnia monitored by resting-state fMRI: The first case report
Post-stroke insomnia (PSI) is one of the most frequent complications in the patients with cerebrovascular diseases. About 37 to 59% of the stroke patients report insomnia complaints [1]. Moreover, researches have indicated that insomnia is related to the increased cardiocerebrovascular morbidity and decreased stroke outcome [2]. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and drug intervention are the common treatments for PSI, however, because of dissatisfacted efficiency and side effects of drugs [1], it is very urgent to find an effective, safe and convenient complementary and alternative therapy.
