Abstract

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine therapy originated in China. In recent years, acupuncture is widely used in the field of neurological diseases, especially in the acute stage of stroke. Its mechanism of action is becoming clearer; one of the possible mechanisms is its bidirectional benign regulation.
