[Abstract] Post-stroke aphasia refers to acquired language disorder caused by cerebrovascular or speech central nervous system disorders, which is manifested as language dysfunction. Acupuncture has achieved good clinical efficacy in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia, but its mechanism remains to be explored. In recent years, with the rapid development of multimodal MRI, this technology has the advantages of non-radiation, multi-parameter, multi-sequence imaging, and has been used by many scholars to study the central effect mechanism of PSA. Based on multimodal imaging techniques such as functional MRI, diffusion tensor imaging, structural MRI and magnetic resonance spectroscopy, this study explores the central effect mechanism of acupuncture on PSA patients from the perspective of brain function, brain structure and brain metabolism, aiming to provide a new direction for the clinical individualized diagnosis and treatment of PSA treated with acupuncture. It provides new ideas for studying the potential mechanism of acupuncture in the treatment of post-stroke aphasia.
