Can acupuncture help to protect patients with traumatic brain injury from risk of stroke?
Patients with traumatic brain injury face increased risk of stroke.
A National Health Insurance Research Database was used to conduct a retrospective cohort study of 7409 traumatic brain injury patients receiving acupuncture treatment.
This study revealed traumatic brain injury patients with acupuncture treatment (4.9 per 1000 persons) had a lower incidence of stroke compared with those without acupuncture treatment (7.5 per 1000 persons).
This study concluded patients with traumatic brain injury receiving acupuncture treatment show decreased risk of stroke compared with those without acupuncture treatment.
Remember, the American Acupuncture Council (AAC) offers an unparalleled track record in acupuncture risk management.
There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for 50 years.
