| Summary: | Stroke, with its high incidence and disability rate, imposes a heavy burden on patients, families and society, urgently requiring safe and effective new treatment methods. Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) is a non⁃invasive therapy that combines traditional Chinese meridian theory with modern physical factor therapy. Stimulating specific acupoints can not only improve functional disorders such as movement, swallowing, urination and defecation, but also regulate neuropsychological problems such as post⁃stroke depression and cognitive impairment. Moreover, TEAS can help prevent and treat complications such as deep vein thrombosis of the lower extremities and post⁃stroke fatigue. TEAS has unique clinical application value in the rehabilitation treatment of stroke. This article systematically reviews the progress in clinical application and mechanisms of TEAS in stroke rehabilitation treatment, and proposes future research directions to promote the standardized and precise application of TEAS.
