Patients with cerebral infarction can be treated with acupuncture, which can be combined with acupuncture treatment after the condition of the patient with cerebral infarction has stabilized. In addition to antiplatelet aggregation, anticoagulation, blood circulation and oxygen radical scavenging medication, acupuncture can be given to the patient’s affected limb. Acupuncture points on the affected limb can be taken from the foot San Li, San Yin Jiao, and Blood Sea, while acupoints such as Qu Chi and Xiu Xiao can be chosen. Acupuncture treatment for patients with cerebral infarction can activate blood circulation, improve local blood circulation of the affected limb, promote lymphatic flow in the affected limb, and reduce the swelling of the affected limb. Therefore, patients with cerebral infarction can be treated with acupuncture after their condition is stabilized, while medication should also be actively given and the diet should be low salt and low fat.
