Research progress on the mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Intracerebral hemorrhage is a major cause of death in humans, with high morbidity, mortality, and disability rates. Secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage is a consequence of brain edema and neurological dysfunction. Acupuncture is markedly effective against secondary brain injury, and various mechanisms are involved in its action, such as inhibition of inflammatory cascades, inhibition of oxidative stress, attenuation of brain edema, inhibition of nerve cell death, and regulation of neural plasticity. This paper summarizes the mechanism underlying the effects of acupuncture on secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage in recent years to provide new ideas for subsequent research.
