Stroke is an emergency, and its prognosis varies greatly according to factors such as the affected part of the brain tissue and whether or not to receive appropriate treatment in time. The treatment of stroke patients with traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture has been proven to significantly reduce the risk of various complications and reduce the chance of a second stroke. This case is the third infarct stroke with hemorrhagic transformation. Three months after the onset, he was admitted to Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital for stem cell therapy and a combination therapy of Chinese and Western medicine. In terms of traditional Chinese medicine treatment, in addition to common treatment methods in Taiwan such as scientific Chinese medicine powder, water decoction, and acupuncture, acupuncture also emphasizes the idea of adjusting the body’s qi, and combines aromatherapy and ear acupoint massage to help patients to the greatest extent. During hospitalization (4/13 to 5/11), the heart rate was relatively stable, GCS improved from 7 points (E4VTM2) to 9 points (E4VTM4), muscle strength improved from 0 points to 2 points for upper limbs, and 1 point to 3 points for lower limbs. In terms of symptoms, vomiting was improved, and physical movements were more obvious.
Stroke is a disease in which there are blood circulation problems in the brain. The pulse diagnostic device can be used to observe the difference of blood circulation before and after acupuncture in stroke patients, and it is expected to provide objective evaluation of therapeutic effect. In this case, we tried to observe the changes in the harmonic frequency index before and after acupuncture. We observed that except for C0, the average amplitude of other harmonic frequencies increased, and the brain-related Cn value increased significantly, proving that acupuncture has the effect of increasing cerebral circulation.
