Scalp acupuncture treatment for stroke sequelae.
Scalp acupuncture, as a modern acupuncture technique, has a history of over fifty years. It combines traditional acupuncture with modern medical knowledge of neuroanatomy, physiology, and pathology of the brain. This technique is widely used in treating central nervous system disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, cerebral palsy, brain injuries, stroke, autism, phantom limb pain, long-term COVID symptoms, and adverse vaccine reactions, with significant therapeutic results.
Our treatments have shown that scalp acupuncture is an effective method for treating stroke sequelae. It holds potential as a preferred treatment option for stroke recovery. In the cases treated, scalp acupuncture alleviated the symptoms of stroke sequelae, improved patients’ quality of life, reversed physical disabilities, and in some instances, patients fully recovered. These cases provide a solid foundation for further research by domestic and international scientific institutions and educational bodies into the clinical applications and mechanisms of scalp acupuncture in treating stroke sequelae.
Professor Hao Jishun, with 43 years of medical experience, has practiced and taught in the United States for 35 years, possessing unique skills in scalp acupuncture. After 43 years of practice, Professor Hao has concluded that scalp acupuncture has a positive and significant effect in treating stroke sequelae.
