Department of Encephalopathy, Nanjing Hospital of TCM, Nanjing University of Chinese Medicine, Nanjing 210001, Jiangsu Province, China.
The data of 44 scalp acupuncture schools are collected to analyze their commonalities in theoretical foundations, needling sites, techniques, and indications. The integration of these characteristics into an optimized, unified scalp acupuncture protocol has become an inevitable trend. The paper discusses the potential for a unified scalp acupuncture protocol from aspects such as theoretical unification, the relationships between point areas, lines, and sites, and needle numbers.

Objective: To explore the efficacy of acupuncture based on "gut-brain axis" combined with sensory integration training in children with autism spectrum disorder (autism) and its effect on gastrointestinal symptoms.
Methods: A total of 96 children with autism were randomized into an observation group and a control group, 48 cases in each group, with 3 cases dropped out. Children in the control group received sensory integration training.

Article Synopsis
- - Tension-type headache (TTH) is a common and challenging health issue, often treated with acupuncture, but the effectiveness of different acupuncture techniques varies significantly, necessitating a comprehensive evaluation.
- - This study systematically analyzed 42 randomized controlled trials involving over 4,100 participants to assess the efficacy and safety of various acupuncture treatments for TTH using advanced statistical methods.
- - Results showed that certain acupuncture combinations, like electro-acupuncture with cupping and manual acupuncture with bloodletting, had notably high responder rates, indicating their potential effectiveness in managing TTH symptoms.
Objective: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the efficacy of combination scalp acupuncture in treating post-stroke cognitive impairment.
Methods: A comprehensive search was conducted across eight databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Database, Embase, CBM, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP, targeting randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published from the inception of these databases until October 24, 2024. The inclusion criteria focused on RCTs that compared scalp acupuncture with conventional treatments as therapeutic interventions for patients suffering from post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI).
Scalp acupuncture alleviates remote hippocampal damage in MCAO rats by inhibiting neuroinflammation: A TMT-based proteomics analysis.

Department of Rehabilitation Medicine, The Third Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China. Electronic address:
While mounting evidence suggests that scalp acupuncture (SA) may be effective in alleviating neurological deficits in patients with acute ischemic stroke (IS), its effect on remote hippocampal damage in acute IS and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Thus, proteomics analysis was conducted to identify potential targets of SA therapy in acute IS. SA significantly reduced cerebral infarct volume and attenuated neuronal damage in the ischemic penumbra and hippocampus, as well as alleviated neurological deficits in rats with middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).
