Brief Summary

This project optimizes the TCM Symptoms and Symptoms Scale. A curative effect evaluation system of acupuncture in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke is formed to provide clinical evidence by the following indexes: neurological impairment, motor dysfunction, TCM Symptoms and Symptoms Scale, combined with the patients' head MRI, Plasma BDNF, MMP-9 and other biomarkers.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • NIHSS SCALE

    NIHSS was created by the National Institutes of Health and has good reliability and validity. It has been widely used to evaluate the severity and prognosis of stroke. The scale consists of consciousness, gaze, vision, facial paralysis, movement, sensation, mutual aid, language, neglect and other items, with a maximum score of 33 points.
