A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study of the Triple Stimulation Technique in the Assessment of Electroacupuncture for Motor Function Recovery in Patients with Acute Ischemic Stroke

Figure 2

(a) Triple stimulation technique (TST) tested in the right ulnar nerve of an adult healthy subject. The TST amplitude ratio (TSTtest/TSTcontrol) was 90.1%. (b) TST tested in the right ulnar nerve of a patient with acute ischemic stroke. The TST amplitude ratio (TSTtest/TSTcontrol) was 45.8%. (c) TST tested in the right ulnar nerve of a patient with acute ischemic stroke after electroacupuncture treatment. The TST amplitude ratio (TSTtest/TSTcontrol) was 83.9%.
