Stroke sequela as a high mortality, recurrence rate and disability rate disease, which leads to clinical syndromes including varying degrees of hemipelgia, language barrier, intellectual deterioration, etc. With sequela syndromes above, the quality of patients have decreased badly. The stroke rehabilitation has become a focus among clinical fields.The traditional chinese medicine has opinions on etiology and pathogenesis of stroke sequela as follows: Due to the congenital factors of body weakness, extreme changes of emotions, improper diets, excessive labor, careless daily life, setting few limits to emotional and sex demands, which contribute to the formation of wind, fire, phlegm and stasis. All those four etiologies can arouse qi and blood disorder, meridian impassability, obnubilation, later result in qi deficiency and blood stasis, obstructing blood vessels. Without the nourishment from qi and blood passing through the broken meridians and vessels, the yin-yang imbalanced body may manifest hemipelgia, facial paralysis, dysphasia, etc.Clinical treatments on stroke sequela cover acupuncture, integrated acupuncture and moxibustion, massage, physiotherapy and other ethinic local therapies working together implied on patients.Professor Yiguo Chen, who has devoted himself to clinical acupuncture treatment, scientific research and education career for almost three decades developed new perspective of clavicular acupuncture integrating chinese herbs decoction treatment to stroke sequela based on syndrome differentiation. The theory of clavicular acupuncture orginated from the profound understanding of traditional chinese medicine and practice in clinical treatment. It has been convinced with the qualified curative effects on stroke sequela patients.Clavicular acupuncture according to the theories of holographic regulations, three-cai elements, tri-jiao system, channel and meridian system, can promote all-dimensional adjustment of physiological information. It is an efficent and fundamental way to improve the passibilities of qi and blood flowing in the broken vessels. In order to nourish the limb paralysis and help bring recovery to the movement function of body.Holographic regulation is a guide of diagnose and therapy of relative zangfu, meridians and channels pathogenic change according to the change of form, color, texture, and touch of the subcutaneous muscle around the clavicular. It concentrates on stimulating recovery function of limb paralysis by acupuncturing at the relative quanxi part around clavicular.Three-cai elements based on the theory of correspondence between body and nature environment is originated from Chinese classical philosophy Taoism and yi-ology.The correspondence including heart and lung correspond to the sky, spleen stomache and liver gallbladder correspond to the human-being, and kidney mingmen correspond to the earth. It is a change rule of invisible Tao applying to human body, which can obtain help from the nature to cure people’s disease. Tri-jiao system can help restore the qi and blood flowing smoothly in the vessels by obeying the charactors of the tri-jiao location and their physiological and pathogenical features. Acupoints from lung, stomache,kidney channels and meridians meet qi and blood infusion points around the clavicular, which endowed clavicular acupuncture characteristic clinical treatment effects differ from any other bone tissue therapy.Meanwhile integrate the body acupuncture therapy which has the acupoints formation regulation assimilated theories from buyanghuanwu decoction.The intension of it is also based on syndrome differentiation, which including promoting blood circulation, removing obstruction in channels and tonifying qi,strengthening the body resistance.
