A recent study conducted in China, including 862 patients who were between the second and tenth day after onset of acute stroke, is the largest truly randomized trial using death or dependency as the primary outcome. The patients were randomly allocated to an acupuncture group receiving acupuncture treatment plus routine treatment or a control group receiving routine treatment alone.
最近一项在中国针对862名处于第二次严重的中风发作后十天内的病人所进行的研究是真正把死亡或依赖他人护理作为主要结果的最大规模的随机试验。病人被随机抽取到接受针灸治疗外加寻常治疗的针灸人群或者只接受寻常治疗的受控人群中。结果将在对试验的数据进行统计后公布，它将会对中风病人的治疗手段产生很好的作用。
