Methods: One hundred and twenty patients were randomly divided into two groups, 60 cases in each group. Both groups were treated by puncturing Weizhong (BL 40) plus functional rehabilitation training, once every day. Those in the observation group were treated by Shi Xue-min's needling technique, while others in the control group were treated with routine needling technique. The therapeutic effects were assessed by the scores of lower limb functions of Lovett scale of grading muscle strength (LSGMS) and short-form FugI-Meyer assessment (SFFMA). Results: The instant and post-treatment effective rates in the observation group were 83.3% and 93.3%, versus 6.7% and 53.3% in the control group, indicating that the therapeutic effect was better in the observation group (P〈0.01). The instant and post-treatment scores of Lovett muscle strength grading scale were better in the observation group than that in the control group (P〈0.05). SFFMA score of lower limbs function was better in the observation group than that in the control group (P〈0.0s). Conclusion: Different needling methods at Weizhong (BL 40) can produce different therapeutic effects in treating post-stroke dysfunction of lower limb, and Shi's needling technique has obvious instant effect and therapeutic function.展开更多
