OBJECTIVE: 's three-needle therapy on limb motor function and nerve function defect in stroke patients, and to evaluate the placebo control method. METHODS: 's three-needle therapy at temporal three points, spirit four points, hand three points, foot three points, upper extremity spasm three points, lower extremity spasm three points, etc.; while the patients in the placebo needle group were treated with placebo needling at identical points. All the treatments were given once a day, 5 days a week, and 3-week treatment was given with an interval of 2 days between weeks.

RESULTS: coefficient<0.20). CONCLUSION: 's three-needle therapy could effectively improve the limb motor function and nerve function defect in stroke patients. The placebo control method used in this study shows good clinical operability and masking effect.
