We divided 80 cases of shoulder-hand syndrome after stroke randomly into treatment group and contrast group; there are 40 cases in each group. We use penetrating needling method (from Jianyu (LI15) to Jiquan (HT1), from Quchi (LI11) He-Sea Point to Shaohai (HT3) He-Sea Point, from Hegu (LI4) Yuan-Source Point to Laogong (PC8) Ying-Spring Point) accompany with electric acupuncture method (connecting LI15, LI4) in treatment group. On the other hand, contrast group is treated by general needling accompanying with electric acupuncture as same points as treatment group. Clinical symptoms, joints’ movement range and pain assessment diversification are observed.
Result: treatment group’s total effective rate is 87.5%; contrast group’s total effective rate is 80.0%.
