Acupuncture has been used extensively in facilitating motor recovery after stroke. Its mechanism of action remains uncertain. In this sham-controlled study, we demonstrate for the first time that acupuncture has a real and enduring effect on motor cortex functional changes, in terms of cortical excitability and output mapping using transcranial magnetic stimulation.
针灸已被广泛用于促进中风后的运动恢复。其作用机制尚不确定。在这项假手术对照研究中,我们首次证明,就使用经颅磁刺激的皮质兴奋性和输出映射而言,针灸对运动皮质功能变化具有真实且持久的影响。
