Clinical Efficacy of Electroacupuncture Therapy on Limb Dysfunction in Ischemic Stroke Patients at High-Altitude Regions: A Multi-center Randomized Double-blind Controlled Trial

The purpose of this clinical trial is to investigate the efficacy of electroacupuncture therapy for limb dysfunction in ischemic stroke patients residing at high-altitude regions. This study aims to address the following research questions: 1. Whether electroacupuncture therapy demonstrates clinical effectiveness in managing limb dysfunction among ischemic stroke patients in high-altitude regions. 2. Whether electroacupuncture therapy maintains an acceptable safety profile in this specific population. Researchers will conduct a comparative analysis between the active electroacupuncture intervention group and a sham-electroacupuncture control group to evaluate therapeutic efficacy. Participants will: 1. Undergo daily electroacupuncture treatment sessions for a standardized 14-day therapeutic course. 2. Complete comprehensive functional assessments and neurological evaluations at baseline and post-intervention timepoints.
