Objective: This study aimed to determine the repeatable effect of acupotomy on specific acupoints of paralyzed limbs in stroke patients with hemiplegia, using musculoskeletal ultrasound combined with acupuncture.
Methods: 102 patients with limb motor dysfunction post-cerebral stroke were randomly divided into two groups: the treatment group (T group) received ultrasound-guided acupotomy plus a basic treatment regimen (51 patients) and the control (C) group underwent the basic treatment regimen (51 patients) over 4 weeks, with a 6-month follow-up period. The T group was treated with ultrasound-guided acupotomy on the first day.
