Description
Summary:In a case of thalamencephalic and mesencephalic injury secondary to electrical trauma, a 29-year-old patient has been receiving manual acupuncture for 17 months in National Clinical Research Center for Chinese Medicine Acupuncture and Moxibustion. As a result of treatment, the patient's self-care ability and quality of life have greatly improved.

Additionally, there should be consideration given to the promotion of acupuncture therapy in the neurological sequelae of electric shock.
