This period of treatment is longer.The possibility of recovery by itself without treatment is little. Therefore, the treatment in this period will be a key to improve curative effeciency, reduce sequela and morbidity.
   Half a year or one year later,the patients will have physical, languge, hearing and vision obstacles in the sequela period. The demonstrations are dim vision,ptosis or strabismus,hemianopsia,strong tongue,unfavorable language, tinnitus and deafness,dizzeness.
     Therefore, inducing resuscitation and activating circulation is the key of treatment. The treatment of acute stroke should be as early as possible, and choosing the acupoint should be as little as possible. The stimulation amount is mediate.The treatment of acupuncture should focus on the practice. The situation of some patients is not very serious at the beginning, but they only use western medicine during the rehabitation and sequela period. Although the condition of acute stroke is under control,the recovery of physical function is worse. It is a pity that they lost the golden treating  period.
