EA Treatment with Different Waveform for Subacute BP:study Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

In each treatment session, the subjects will receive EA treatment. The selected acupoints for needling will be BL2, GB1, GB14, ST2, SI18, ST6, ST4, ST7, SJ17, EX-HN16, EX-HN5, on affected side, and LI4, bilaterally. After the de-qi sensation is achieved, electrical stimulator will be connected to BL2-GB1, and ST4-ST6, and 2Hz continuous wave will be used for 20 min.
