Ideas and Methods for Experimental Research on Treatment of Stroke with Scalp-acupuncture

In the present paper, the authors review some related literature about new ways of thinking and methods for experimental studies on scalp-acupuncture treatment of stroke from A) establishing standardized animal model; B) imitating human's scalp-points in animals; C) using suitable manipulations and proper stimulating quantities; D) selecting appropriate therapeutic opportunity; E) studying th e im mediate effect of acupuncture on stroke; F) the underlying mechanisms of scalp- acupunc ture in improving stroke and some appropriate indexes for evaluating the therape utic effects of acupuncture; and G) key points for attention. Currently, 1) elec tric coagulation method induced middle cerebral artery occlusion is a reliable c erebral ischemia model; 2) experimental studies have been carried out mainly on rats, but primate is most suitable for researching the mechanisms of acupuncture the rapy in treating stroke; 3) working out a united standardized scalp-point lines in different animals is necessary; 4) the most suitable stimulating quantity and parameters should be made clear earlier; 5) administ ration of acupuncture t hera py for stroke in the early stage and rehabilitation stage is applicable; and 6) studying the mechanisms of acupuncture in relieving stroke from cellular and mol ecular levels and intranuclear episodes is the conventional way at present.
