- - This pilot study evaluates the effectiveness of a combined therapy that includes rehabilitation treatment and contralateral needling at the foot on the unaffected side to improve hand function in stroke patients with a weak (paretic) hand.
- - It will involve 72 stroke patients, who will be divided into a control group receiving traditional acupuncture and basic treatment, and an observation group receiving the combined therapy over 12 sessions in 2 weeks.
- - Key outcomes measured will include hand motor function improvements assessed through the Fugl-Meyer Assessment and other indicators, aiming to provide foundational data for future large-scale research.
