Treatment of Electroacupuncture With Different Waveform for Subacute Peripheral Facial Paralysis:Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Bell palsy (BP) is a relatively common clinical disease, which leads to functional and esthetic disturbances for patients and results in a lowered quality of life. Electroacupuncture received attention in the management of BP. The aim of this study is to evaluate the curative effect of different waveform of electroacupuncture on peripheral facial paralysis in subacute stage and to screen out the optimal waveform.

Effect of Acupuncture on the Gait Disturbance and Hemodynamic Changes in the Prefrontal Cortex: Study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by cognitive impairment and behavioral impairment, and increasing attention is paid in the gait of AD patients. The aim of this randomized controlled trial (RCT) is to explore the effect of acupuncture on the cognitive function, gait performance, and hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortices.
Methods: In this RCT, a total of 108 AD patients will be randomly assigned into acupuncture group or control group for 8 weeks. The primary outcome will be Three-dimensional gait analysis and cerebral hemodynamics using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). Secondary outcomes include Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), and Barthel Index (BI).
Discussion: This trial is expected to explore the effect of acupuncture on cognitive function, gait performance, and hemodynamic changes in the prefrontal cortices for AD patients.
