Objective: To observe the comprehensive value of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation therapy and acupoint acupuncture therapy in the treatment of patients with stroke in the convalescent period. Methods According to the method of comparative observation of included cases, 68 patients were included, starting from February 2021 to June 2022. Double blind method was used to divide them into control group (34 patients, treated with traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation) and observation group (34 patients, treated with traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation+ acupuncture). The recovery of the two groups was compared. Results There was no difference between the two groups in the ability of self-care and limb movement before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the observation group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). The recovery of nerve function and the degree of hemiplegic limb pain in the two groups were compared. There was no difference between the two groups before treatment (P>0.05). After treatment, the observation group was significantly better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion In the treatment of stroke patients in the recovery period, the combination of traditional Chinese medicine rehabilitation treatment and acupuncture and moxibustion can effectively improve the patients self-care ability and limb movement ability, improve the patients pain symptoms on the hemiplegic side and promote the recovery of the patients damaged nerve function.
