Three things tell me this can't be trusted.
1. Integrative - Meaning that it is not scientifically proven.
“Integrative medicine”: A brand, not a specialty
2. Nothing suggests that the two groups had the same objective damage diagnosis starting points.
3. Acupuncture. Energy meridians have never been proven to exist, all just placebo.
4. PEMF actually works so it doesn't fall the the integrative camp, it is real therapy.

Abstract
Objectives
This study was conducted to verify the effectiveness
of east-west integrative rehabilitation therapy on activity of daily
living and cognitive functional recovery in stroke patients by comparing
with integrative rehabilitation therapy group and conventional
rehabilitation therapy group in a single institution.
Methods
The
medical records of 106 stroke patients hospitalized in Department of
Rehabilitation Medicine, Dongguk University Bundang Oriental Hospital
from January 1, 2017 to February 28, 2019 were reviewed. After screening
and dividing it into conventional rehabilitation (CR) group and
integrative rehabilitation (IR) group, Korean version of Modified
Barthel Index (K-MBI), functional independence measure (FIM), clinical
dementia rating-sum of boxes (CDR-SB) were statistically analyzed.
Results IR group showed significant improvement in K-MBI, FIM, and
CDR-SB after treatment (p<0.001) and there was a statistically
significant difference in K-MBI and CDR-SB score changes than CR group
(p<0.05). And chronic patient of IR group showed significant
improvement in K-MBI, FIM, and CDR-SB after treatment (p<0.01) and
there was a statistically significant difference in CDR-SB score changes
than CR group (p<0.05). In particular, the earlier the treatment
initiation time, the more the improvement in function and when the
treatment started within 2 years from the onset and patients took
acupuncture and pulsed electromagnetic therapy, all scales significantly
improved (p<0.001).
Conclusions
IR showed more improvement on
activities of daily life and cognitive functional recovery than CR in
this study.
