In recent years, Professor Shi Xuemin, Dean of the Affiliated Hospital of Tianjin College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, put forward the academic viewpoint of treating stroke. This view not only changed the academic thought and treatment methods of acupuncture doctors in the past dynasties from the aspects of legislation, treatment principles and acupuncture techniques, but also carried out a lot of experimental research and clinical verification on this academic view, thus making this academic thought the most commonly used theory to guide the clinical treatment of stroke at present. The basic contents of the method of "waking up the brain and inducing resuscitation" include the following five aspects:
1. In terms of pathogenesis, it is considered that the main pathological mechanism of stroke is that the mind is closed and the heart does not guide qi, resulting in attachment to Yuan Shen and useless limbs.
2. In the legislative prescription, according to the pathogenesis of "closing the heart and hiding the spirit", the method of "waking up the brain and enlightening" was established.
3. In the treatment, it is mainly to enlighten the mind and improve the physiological function of the brain, the house of Yuan God.
4. Yin meridian points are the main side. Key points: Shuigou, Neiguan and Sanyinjiao. Auxiliary points: Jiquan, Chise, Weizhong and Hegu.
5. In terms of manipulation, based on the pathogenesis of stroke and the establishment of the acupuncture method of "opening, closing and inducing resuscitation", it is proposed that the main method of acupuncture operation is "purging", that is, the two sides of Neiguan are pricked first, and the point is 1.0- 1.5 inch, and the purging method is inserted by twisting 1 minute; After stabbing the ditch, peck with a bird until the eyeball is full of tears or tears; Insert the needle along the posterior edge of the tibia at Sanyinjiao, and the needle tip is inclined backward at an angle of 45 degrees with the skin, and insert the needle 1.0- 1.5 inch. Tick the affected lower limb three times by lifting and inserting method. Insert the needle 0.5- 1.0 inch away from the origin along the Jiquan meridian, and twitch the affected upper limb three times in succession by lifting, inserting and purging; Lift the leg in supine position to take acupuncture points, and insert the needle 1.0- 1.5 inches. The affected lower limb twitched three times by lifting, inserting and purging. Hegu point is divided into three points, and the method of lifting, inserting and purging is adopted, with the index finger of the affected side twitching three times as the degree.
