ABSTRACT
This chapter shows that the scope of neuroacupuncture in treating a variety of conditions and, will hopefully generate interest to stimulate research and expanded clinical practice. Neuroacupuncture has been found to have a positive effect on the sequelae of stroke, including hemiplegia, aphasia, and abnormal sensations in the limbs. Neuroacupuncture has demonstrated positive results with restless legs syndrome, and usually produces immediate beneficial responses in the initial treatment. Neuroacupuncture has been proven to have the most success in the treatment of Multiple Sclerosis and other central nervous system damage, as compared to other acupuncture modalities including on the ear, body, and hand. Neuroacupuncture has been found to have good results in children with cerebral palsy including paralysis, ataxia, hypotonia or hypertonia, apraxia, dysarthria, dysphasia, and mental retardation. Neuroacupuncture has been proven to be very effective, safe, and inexpensive for central nervous system disorders.
