Scalp acupuncture and computer assisted cognitive rehabilitation for stroke: A meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Objective: To assess the clinical effectiveness of scalp acupuncture and computer assisted cognitive rehabilitation in the treatment of cognitive impairment in stroke patients.

Methods: The literatures published before August 2021 in the following databases were included: PubMed, Chinese Biomedical Database, Wanfang Database, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Database of Chinese sci-tech periodicals (VIP), EBSCO Information Services, MEDLINE and Web of Science. Only randomised controlled trials (RCTs) were included.

Treadmill exercise attenuates cerebral ischaemic injury in rats by protecting mitochondrial function via enhancement of caveolin-1.

Aims: Exercise training has a neuroprotective effect against ischaemic injury, but the underlying mechanism is not completely clear. This study explored the potential mechanisms underlying the protective effects of treadmill training and caveolin-1 regulation against mitochondrial dysfunction in cerebral ischaemic injury.

Main Methods: After middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) surgery, rats were subjected to treadmill training and received daidzein injections and combined therapy.
