Introduction: Auricular acupuncture (AA) is a method of Traditional Medicine that has been used for a long time to treat many diseases, including stroke. This study aimed to examine the effect of auricular acupuncture combined with electro-acupuncture and physiotherapy exercise in the motor rehabilitation of patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: 128 patients after ischemic stroke participated in this RCT, then were randomly assigned to either the AA-study group (auricular acupuncture combined with electro-acupuncture and conventional therapy) or the CT - control group (sham auricular acupuncture combined with electro- acupuncture and conventional therapy). They were treated and monitored for six consecutive weeks. Clinical outcomes were measured using the Barthel Index (BI), Fugl Meyer Assessment (FMA), and Motricity Index (MI) scales at two-time points, including before and six weeks after initiation of the intervention. Results: After six weeks, FMA, BI, and MI scores were significantly higher than before treatment (p < 0.05) in both groups. Specifically, the study group had a statistically significant improvement compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Conclusions: This study shows that auricular acupuncture in combination with electro-acupuncture and physiotherapy exercise was more effective than electro-acupuncture and physiotherapy exercise in improving motor function in patients after ischemic stroke.

Introduction: Sensory disturbance is a common symptom of post-stroke. In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), this symptom is classified as numbness (Ma Mu). While there have been many studies on the therapeutic effect of numb- ness in TCM, little research has been conducted on the characteristics of numbness. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of numbness in patients with ischemic stroke in the early rehabilitation phase. Methods: This study consisted of two phases. Phase 1 investigated the characteristics of numbness based on medical literature; Phase 2 investigated the characteristics of numbness in patients with ischemic stroke in the early rehabilitation phase based on the cross-sectional study. Results: Phase 1 identified 9 characteristics of numbness based on 11 medical /literature, including: S1 (feeling of heaviness in the affected area), S2 (feeling of tension in the affected area), S3 (sensation of crawling insects), S4 (numbness in a fixed position), S5 (increased numbness with movement), S6 (increased numbness when exposed to cold), S7 (increased numbness when exposed to moisture), S8 (decreased with warm compresses), S9 (decreased when pressed). Phase 2, a clinical survey of 67 patients, recorded 9 characteristics (S1 to S9). We found that there is a relationship between the degree of sensory disturbance according to Fugl-Meyer Assessment with S2 and S6, and obe- sity with S5. Conclusions: The study examined the characteristics of numbness in ischemic stroke patients in the early rehabilitation phase from the perspective of TCM. This study provided a basis for individualized diagnosis and treatment combining traditional and modern medicine.
