【Summary】
This is a 63-year-old male with upper limb spasticity caused by stroke. At the time of consultation, the elbow of the left upper limb was flexed, the fist was clenched, and the elbow and fingers were difficult to extend. Consider how to choose acupuncture points to relieve the upper limb spasticity of this patient. We select the acupoint points based on the yin-yang differentiation and refer to botulinum toxin injection guide. After 5 months of acupuncture and rehabilitation treatment, the patient’s left upper limb spasticity improved and the Modified Ashworth Scale improved from 3 to 1. A stroke patient’s limb spasticity is treated with botox, which each time costs NT$10,000 to NT$20,000, which is relatively expensive and requires repeated treatment. The patient underwent acupuncture and rehabilitation without botox injection. The method of acupoint selection is based on yin-yang differentiatal diagnostics and refer to the botox injection guidelines to select similar acupoints. Acupuncture based on the differential diagnostics of yin-yang combined with botulinum toxin injection guide will provide a cheap and effective treatment option for stroke patients.
