STROKE, SEPARATION
This is the first study to investigate the alteration of dynamic brain function induced by acupuncture treatment in stroke patients with motor dysfunction based on dFNC analysis. We identified the relationship between dynamic properties and motor function in poststroke patients. Our findings demonstrated that acupuncture has the potential to modulate abnormal temporal properties and promote the balance of separation and integration of brain function. True acupoint stimulation may have a more positive effect on regulating the brain's dynamic function. Our findings provide additional evidence for exploring the association between acupuncture therapy and neuroplasticity.
