Based on the basic TCM pathogenesis of obnubilation due to stroke caused by such pathological factors as blood stasis, liver wind and turbid phlegm, the method of Xingnao Kaiqiao acupuncture was created by Professor Shi Xuemin, an academician of the Chinese academy of engineering and a Master of Chinese medicine. It is a principle of treatment and acupuncture method which is widely used in the treatment of stroke and its complications. For sleep disorder, depression, vascular dementia, dysphagia, constipation and hiccup after stroke, it is emphasized that on the basis of regulating spirit, disease differentiation and syndrome differentiation should be unified, acupoints should be arranged according to the condition of syndrome, and attention should be paid to the quantitative standard of manipulation at the same time. In addition to the causes of stroke, many complications are also closely related to the psychological emotion and social environment of patients after stroke. The method of Xingnao Kaiqio accupucture is used to treat diseases by regulating spirit from all aspects, which is also in line with the biological-psychological-social model of modern medicine. Post-stroke complications can occur in all stages of stroke and are affected by many factors. Therefore, it is necessary to further explore and study the timing, course of treatment, curative effect evaluation and mechanism of acupuncture intervention in this method.
