Neuroplastische Mechanismen der Akupunktur bei der motorischen Erholung nach Schlaganfall: Eine randomisierte Multimodal-MRT-Studie Abstract Background Hemiplegia is a common motor impairment following ischemic stroke. Post-stroke recovery involves extensive reorganization of structural and functional brain networks, which correlates with clinical deficits and recovery. While acupuncture has demonstrated safety and efficacy in improving motor function, robust neuroimaging evidence elucidating its central mechanisms remains limited. This study aimed to investigate the specific neuroplastic effects of acupuncture by focusing on its modulation of cortical gray matter volume (GMV) and multilayer dynamic functional network topology. Methods Patients with stroke were randomly allocated in a 2:1...Weiterlesen
