A pilot controlled trial of a combination of dense cranial electroacupuncture stimulation and body acupuncture for post-stroke depression BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, 08/11/2014 Clinical Article Man SC, et al. – The purpose of the present study was to further evaluate the effectiveness of dense cranial electroacupuncture stimulation (DCEAS) combined with body acupuncture and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) in patients with post–stroke depression (PSD). The results indicate that DCEAS could be effective in reducing stroke patients’ depressive symptoms. Superficial electrical stimulation in n–CEA group may be beneficial in improving movement disability of stroke patients. A combination of DCEAS and body acupuncture can be considered a treatment option for neuropsychiatric sequelae of stroke.
