title: Effects of electroacupuncture plus intra-carotid drug injection on rheoencephalogram in patients with cerebral infarction.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) plus intra-carotid drug injection for treating cerebral infarction.
  
  
  METHODS
  Rheoencephalogram was recorded with a RG-2B type of bridge rheoencephalograph and findings were compared before and after the treatment.
  
  
  RESULTS
  After the treatment, the prolonged rising time was shortened, and the decreased amplitude obviously elevated.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The therapy can dilate cerebral blood vessels, increase the cerebral blood flow, and improve the elasticity of cerebral blood vessels, leading to sufficient blood and oxygen supply in the ischemic brain tissues and to restoration of their functions.
