Abstract & Study Overview
Post-stroke hemiparesis presents one of the most complex neurological challenges in adult rehabilitation. This observational study investigates 240 post-stroke individuals receiving structured Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) protocols in conjunction with personalised integrative bodywork at Dhi Amrutam.
Key Clinical Findings
- Motor Score Progression: 78.4% of participants demonstrated statistically significant improvements on the Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA) scale over a 12-week course.
- Spasticity Modulation: Meaningful reduction in modified Ashworth scale scores was documented across upper and lower extremity motor groupings.
- Cortical Neuroplasticity: Early intervention within 6 months post-stroke correlated with faster independent ambulation recovery.
Protocol Summary
Treatment sessions incorporated Basal Ganglia, Cerebrum, and Somatotopic Micro-zones with 0.25mm filiform stainless steel needles retained for 30 minutes per therapeutic sitting.
