Objective To explore the clinical effect of acupuncture on apoplexy sequelae. Methods A total of 60 stroke patients treated in our hospital from January 2018 to December 2022 were selected as research objects, and randomly divided into control group (30 cases) and experimental group (30 cases) by random number table method. The control group received conventional treatment, and the experimental group received acupuncture and moxibustion on the basis of conventional treatment. The NIHSS, ADL, negative emotion score and clinical efficacy of the two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in NIHSS and ADL scores between the two groups before treatment (P >0.05). After treatment, NIHSS score of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group, while ADL score was significantly higher than that of the control group, with statistical significance (P <0.05). There was no significant difference in negative emotion scores between the two groups before treatment (P >0.05). After treatment, the scores of HADS-A and HADS-D in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, with statistical significance (P <0.05). The effective rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05). Conclusion Acupuncture and moxibustion has remarkable effect on patients with apoplexy sequelae, which can effectively improve the loss of neurological function, improve life skills and quality, and improve their negative emotions, and is worth promoting.
