摘要
Acupuncture is potentially beneficial for post-stroke rehabilitation and is considered a promising preventive strategy for stroke.Electroacupuncture pretreatment or treatment after ischemic stroke by using appropriate electroacupuncture parameters generates neuroprotective and neuroregenerative effects that increase cerebral blood flow,regulate oxidative stress,attenuate glutamate excitotoxicity,maintain bloodbrain barrier integrity,inhibit apoptosis,increase growth factor production,and induce cerebral ischemic tolerance.
