Abstract
Ninety-two cases of stroke were randomly divided into treatment group in which 52 cases were treated with acupuncture and Tuina therapy, and control group in which 40 cases were treated with western medicine. Evaluated by MESSS scale, acupuncture and Tuina therapy had a better effect than western medicine in the relief of hemiplegia, logagnosia dysphagia, facial hemiparalysis and numbness in half body, with more stable vital signs.
