Objective: To explore the clinical effect of electroacupuncture stimulation of the extensor digitorum in the treatment of upper limb and hand dysfunction after stroke. Method: Stroke patients admitted to the Rehabilitation Department of our hospital from December 2018 to December 2021 were included. Randomly divided into an electroacupuncture group (n=30) and a percutaneous group (n=30), all patients received basic rehabilitation treatment. The electroacupuncture group received electroacupuncture stimulation at the third and outer acupoints of the finger extensor muscle, while the percutaneous group received percutaneous treatment at the third and outer acupoints of the hand. Result: After treatment, the Fugl Meyer Assessment (FMA) and Barthel Index scores of upper limb motor function in both groups of patients were significantly improved (p<0.05). The improvement in FMA score and Barthel index score of upper limb motor function in the electroacupuncture group was significantly better than that in the control group (p<0.01). Conclusion: Electroacupuncture stimulation of the extensor digitorum has shown significant clinical effects in treating hand dysfunction after stroke, especially in improving upper limb motor function and daily living ability.
