Abstract: Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of ischemic stroke hemiplegia treated by the left rising-right descending acupuncture.Methods: 70 cases of ischemic stroke patients who met the diagnostic criteria were randomly divided into a traditional acupuncture group of 35 patients,using traditional acupuncture treatment,and the left rising-right descending acupuncture group of 35 patients,using the left rising-right descending acupuncture treatment.After 30 days of treatment,the two groups were compared before and after treatment of neurological deficits and activities of daily living to improve the situation.Results: In the left rising- right descending acupuncture group,the reduction rate of neurological deficit score and the degree of disability were significantly different compared with those of the traditional acupuncture group(P < 0.05).The clinical effect of left rising- right descending acupuncture was better than that of the traditional acupuncture group(P < 0.05).Conclusion: The left rising- right descending acupuncture had more advantages in the treatment of ischemic stroke hemiplegia,improving neurological function and activities of daily living than that of traditional acupuncture treatment.
