Acute ischemic cerebrovascular disease is one of the critical diseases seriously endangering human health. Acupuncture therapy

an effective treatment method for many types of disorders has been generally acknowledged. In recent years

many scientific researchers have studied the relationship between the effects of acupuncture in relieving cerebral ischemia-induced sequelae and the stimulating parameters. The acupuncture stimulating parameter includes the frequency of electroacupuncture (EA)

the frequency of acupuncture treatment

and the acquired quantity of stimulation

etc for clinical patients and experimental animals. It was found that different stimulating parameters may have different efficacies. Current research results provide a good basis not only for analysis of the factors of acupuncture-produced effects

but also for determination of the optimal combination of stimulating parameters. However

acupuncture therapeutic effect involves multiple factors and multiple levels

and current quantitative acupuncture parameter researches have been mainly restricted to animal experiments. Hence

more researches in which statistics specialists take part are definitely needed.
