Acupuncture for Post-Stroke Cognitive Impairment After Stroke: An Electroencephalography Study

doi:10.3870/j.issn.1672-0741.25.05.023

Abstract

Abstract: Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI)is a common sequela in stroke patients and significantly affects their quality of life and rehabilitation progress.As a green,economical,and safe therapeutic approach,acupuncture has been demonstrated to possess unique advantages in treating PSCI.Electroencephalography(EEG),a noninvasive neuroimaging technique,has become a focus of clinical research because of its ability to predict cognitive impairment.Studies investigating the mechanisms underlying the effects of acupuncture on PSCI via EEG technology have revealed that acupuncture can improve cognitivefunction by modulating brain electrical activity.The integration of acupuncture and EEG technology shows great potential and promising application prospects in the assessment and treatment of PSCI.

Key words: post-stroke cognitive impairment, acupuncture, electroencephalography, effect mechanism
