All of the immunoreactions including nonspecific inflammation

T-cell-mediated immunity

and humoral immunity play important roles in the onset and devolopment of wind-stroke. Through intervening some links of the immunologic process and reducing immunologic injury

acu-moxibustion has become one of the effective remedies for wind-stroke. This article reviews development of researches on the immunoregulation effect and mechanism of acu-moxibustion treatment in stroke patients and experimental cerebral hemorrhage animals from 1) immunoregulation of acu-moxibustion on human body

2) effect of acu-moxibustion in relieving inflammatory reactions in acute cerebral hemorrhage animals

and 3) effect of acu-moxibustion on the specific immunity in acute cerebrovascular diseases.
