Objective: To study the mechanism of auricular point sticking and pressing combined with acupuncture and moxibustion therapy in the intervention of ischemic stroke based on hemorheology and blood lipid indicators, and to seek a safer and more efficient treatment for stroke patients. Methods 84 patients with ischemic stroke were selected, 42 patients in the positive drug control group (group A) and 42 patients in the ear acupoint sticking and pressing combined with acupuncture treatment group (group B), and 45 healthy persons in the same period were selected as the healthy control group (group C), and the levels of hemorheology and blood lipid indexes were compared before and after treatment in the three groups. Results At 4 and 12 weeks after treatment, the levels of blood lipid indexes in both groups were significantly improved compared with those before treatment, and the levels of various indexes in Group B and Group C were better than those in Group A (P<0.05); The levels of hemorheology indexes in the two groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the levels of various indexes in Group B and Group C were lower than those in Group A (P<0.05). Conclusion The combination of ear point sticking and acupuncture therapy for ischemic stroke can promote the improvement of hemorheology and blood lipid index of patients more quickly and directly, and has positive significance for alleviating the neurological damage and improving the ability of daily life of patients.
