About
Dr. Xiaohua Pan is a leading researcher in integrative neurology and rehabilitation medicine, with a specialized focus on acupuncture-based interventions for post-stroke recovery. Her most significant contribution is the development and clinical validation of Interactive Dynamic Scalp Acupuncture (IDSA), a novel therapeutic approach that combines traditional scalp acupuncture with dynamic motor training. In her landmark multicenter, randomized controlled trial published in 2021, Dr. Pan demonstrated that IDSA significantly improves lower limb motor function and gait in stroke survivors, providing robust evidence for a non-pharmacological, cost-effective rehabilitation strategy. This work, which has garnered 22 citations, has been instrumental in bridging Eastern and Western medical practices, offering new hope for patients with chronic motor deficits. Dr. Pan’s research is characterized by rigorous clinical methodology and a patient-centered approach, directly addressing the critical need for effective, accessible post-stroke therapies. Her findings have influenced rehabilitation protocols in both hospital and community settings, establishing her as a key figure in evidence-based acupuncture research and neurorehabilitation.
