Electroacupuncture on Modifying Inflammatory Levels of Cytokines and Metabolites in Stroke Patients
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating electroacupuncture for Ischemic Stroke and Acute. Completed, enrolled 17 participants across 1 site.
Signals
Detailed Summary
The study will make an association between the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine that establishes that the syndrome of blood stagnation generates alteration in blood flow, vascular dysfunction, and damage to the endothelium. This process is like what occurs in a stroke. It will use electroacupuncture to change this chronic inflammatory process, and to know the effects and efficacy of this technique in the regulation and modulation of to treat extensive inflammatory diseases. However, this inflammatory response must be associated with serum cholesterol levels, since they are associated with a stroke between the LDL-C/HDL-C ratio and the prognosis after a stroke.

Arms & Interventions
the disproportionate inflammatory response presented by chronic and acute inflammation as is the case in patients with stroke. In addition, the evaluation of the risk factors associated with the presence of metabolites such as cholesterol and fatty acids will provide us with an adequate diagnosis of the influence that these risk factors have on the blood vessels and the vascular endothelium.This is the group that receives real electroacupuncture, applied to selected acupuncture points both on the arms and legs, and on the scalp. All procedures were carried out with disposable needles measuring 0.25 mm in diameter (32-gauge) and 44 mm in length.
efficacy and effectiveness of electroacupuncture in a clinical trial in electroacupuncture: design of control group and treatment group (including sharm acupuncture) and develop in this study the measurements in the patients and perform everything to the highest standards in both treatment procedures and measurement of results. Randomized controlled trail: intervention strategy and implementation.Also called Sham because it does not receive real stimulation from an acupuncture point, it is 1 cm away from the meridian. All procedures were carried out to a depth of 0.5 cm with disposable needles
