Evaluating the Effectiveness and Safety of Dynamic Scalp Acupuncture in Post-Stroke Rehabilitation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Protocol
Clinical Report: Evaluating the Effectiveness and Safety of Dynamic Scalp Acupuncture
Background
Stroke is a major cause of long-term disability, necessitating effective rehabilitation strategies to enhance recovery. Dynamic Scalp Acupuncture (DSA) combines acupuncture with task-oriented training. However, systematic evidence on DSA as a distinct intervention has not been previously synthesized.
Data Highlights
No numerical data available in the provided source material.
Key Findings
Stroke rehabilitation often requires multidisciplinary approaches, yet recovery outcomes are variable.
DSA is hypothesized to enhance neuroplasticity by integrating acupuncture with active movement.
Preliminary trials suggest DSA may improve motor and cognitive outcomes in stroke patients.
The systematic review will follow PRISMA-P guidelines and assess the quality of evidence using the Grading of Recommendations approach.
Primary outcomes will focus on motor function, with secondary outcomes including activities of daily living and adverse events.
Clinical Implications
Understanding the efficacy and safety of DSA could inform future research.
Conclusion
This systematic review aims to clarify the effectiveness and safety of DSA in post-stroke rehabilitation.
