Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Acupuncture-moxibustion can promote recovery from the sequelae of ischemic stroke. However, its mechanism of action has not yet been fully elucidated. This paper introduces the mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion in alleviating rehabilitation of ischemic stroke sequelae. The regulatory mechanism of acupuncture-moxibustion was analyzed for limb movement disorders, cognitive impairment, depression, epilepsy, dysphagia, and insomnia after stroke from four aspects (promoting neuronal growth and cell proliferation, regulating cerebral blood flow, modulating neurochemicals, and suppressing cell apoptosis). This study provides theoretical support for the wide application of acupuncture-moxibustion in rehabilitation after ischemic stroke.
