Does acupuncture improve motor recovery after stroke? A meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Acupuncture may be a promising treatment for poststroke paralysis. We conducted a meta-analysis, assessing the efficacy of acupuncture with and without stroke rehabilitation. METHODS We identified randomized trials comparing acupuncture with no acupuncture within 6 months of stroke by searching MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and Chinese medical literature da...
متن کاملIncreased Brain Activation in Motor Cortex After Acupuncture Treatment for Motor Recovery in Chronic Stroke Patients
Acupuncture has historically been recommended as adjunctive treatment to patients with stroke, but its effectiveness has yet to be proven. This case series aims to report the results of using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), together with motor function evaluations, to assess the effect of acupuncture on stable patients after stroke. Eleven chronic stroke patients underwent fMRI an...
متن کاملDrugs to Enhance Motor Recovery After Stroke.
Abstract—Among the therapeutic strategies under study to improve long-term outcome after stroke are drugs targeting events that underlie recovery. Drugs that enhance recovery are separate from those that promote neuroprotection or reperfusion in patients with stroke. Recovery-based drugs have distinct therapeutic targets that are related to plasticity and growth after stroke, and in general, im...
متن کاملRecovery of motor function after stroke.
The human brain possesses a remarkable ability to adapt in response to changing anatomical (e.g., aging) or environmental modifications. This form of neuroplasticity is important at all stages of life but is critical in neurological disorders such as amblyopia and stroke. This review focuses upon our new understanding of possible mechanisms underlying functional deficits evidenced after adult-o...
متن کاملEffect of Mirror Therapy on the Motor Recovery in Patients After Stroke: A Randomized Clinical Trial
Objectives: One of the most important problems seen in patients after stroke is that they cannot develop normal muscle strength. In recent years, the use of Mirror Therapy (MT) in the recovery of this condition has been noticed in different studies. This study investigated the effect of MT on motor recovery in patients after stroke. Methods: In this clinical trial, 93 patients were divided int...
