Acupuncture: Can it reverse stroke damage?

(OCTOBER, 2002) Researchers from several major medical schools are conducting a pilot study to see if they can pinpoint whether acupuncture can help stroke patients. This study will be conducted by researchers at:

• The New England School of Acupuncture
• Massachusetts General Hospital
• Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital
• Harvard Medical School
• Harvard School of Public Health.

Both computerized imaging of gait and limb movements and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain will be used as evaluation methods.

"This study will look at a number of clinically driven questions about how effective acupuncture can be in reducing some physical impairments, removing functional limitations and enhancing the quality of life in patients," says principal investigator Dr. Peter Wayne, director of the acupuncture school.

Stroke: the nation's leading killer

It's estimated that some 750,000 Americans will have a first or reoccurring stroke every year. That translates to about one stroke every 45 seconds. Stroke is now the leading cause of adult disability.
