They were diagnosed as Stroke and hospitalized in Dong-shin Univ. Korean Traditional Medicine Hospital from March, 2001 to May, 2001. They were divided into two groups. One was an experimental group, treated by 2 methods - common acupunture therapy and scalp acupunture(jung-sup jeon who-sa-sun(頂攝前 後斜線). The other was an control group, treated only by common acupunture therapy. Results : In an experimental group, there were 8 excellent cases(57.14%) and 6 good cases(42.86%). In an control group, there were 3 excellent cases(20%), 10 good cases(66.6%) and 2 improved cases(13.33%). There was no significant difference in variable of effects according to treatments.
