Changing stroke rehab and research worldwide now.Time is Brain! trillions and trillions of neurons that DIE each day because there are NO effective hyperacute therapies besides tPA(only 12% effective). I have 523 posts on hyperacute therapy, enough for researchers to spend decades proving them out. These are my personal ideas and blog on stroke rehabilitation and stroke research. Do not attempt any of these without checking with your medical provider. Unless you join me in agitating, when you need these therapies they won't be there.

What this blog is for:

My blog is not to help survivors recover, it is to have the 10 million yearly stroke survivors light fires underneath their doctors, stroke hospitals and stroke researchers to get stroke solved. 100% recovery. The stroke medical world is completely failing at that goal, they don't even have it as a goal. Shortly after getting out of the hospital and getting NO information on the process or protocols of stroke rehabilitation and recovery I started searching on the internet and found that no other survivor received useful information. This is an attempt to cover all stroke rehabilitation information that should be readily available to survivors so they can talk with informed knowledge to their medical staff. It lays out what needs to be done to get stroke survivors closer to 100% recovery. It's quite disgusting that this information is not available from every stroke association and doctors group.

The effect of combined scalp acupuncture and cognitive training in patients with stroke on cognitive and motor functions

And just why would you try acupuncture?

Impossible to have effects except as a placebo. Energy meridians have never been proven to exist.
No mechanism of action is possible. 

But if you believe, have at it, recognizing these possible side effects;

Abstract: 

Study investigated the effect of combined scalp acupuncture and cognitive training on cognitive and motor functioning in patients with stroke during the recovery stage. Seventy patients with post-stroke cognitive impairment were randomly divided into an experimental group and a control group. Patients in the experimental group additionally received scalp acupuncture and cognitive training, while the control group received sham scalp acupuncture and cognitive training. The cognitive and motor functioning of all patients were assessed using Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Loewenstein Occupational Therapy Cognition Assessment (LOTCA), and the Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA), respectively, before and 12 weeks after treatment. In addition, the plasma brain-derived neurotrophic factor and nerve growth factor (NGF) levels were measured from peripheral blood samples using ELISA kits. After 12 weeks, the MMSE, LOTCA and FMA scores were significantly higher in the experimental group than in the control group. In the experimental group, there was an improvement in the total MMSE score, orientation, spatial executive function, the total LOTCA score, and the score of command of language orientation post-treatment. Significant improvements of BDNF and NGF were found in the experimental group after treatment, while only significant improvements of NGF was found in the control group after treatment. Both BDNF and NGF in the experiment group were higher than those in the control group at the last day of treatment. Combined scalp acupuncture and cognitive training can efficiently enhance cognitive and motor functions in patients with stroke during the recovery stage, which may be a more effective rehabilitation treatment after stroke than routine therapy and rehabilitation training alone.
