Methods: Sixty patients with spastic paralysis after cerebral infarction were randomly allocated into control group and treatment group, 30 cases each. The control group was treated with conventional acupuncture and the treatment group was treated with conventional acupuncture plus electroacupuncture according to the principle of antagonistic acupuncture. Both groups were given routine drugs and scalp acupuncture treatment. Results: Statistical analysis showed significant differences in NFI score and clinical curative effect score between pretreatment and posttreatment in the treatment and control groups and between the treatment and control groups. Conclusion: Both electroacupuncture and conventional acupuncture have clinical curative effect on spastic paralysis following cerebral infarction, but the curative effect of electroacupuncture is significantly superior to that of conventional acupuncture.展开更多
