Is there some new acupuncture methods used as of current to help fasten the recovery of the upper limb of a Stroke patients?
And what old methods do you know? I have a treatment regimen but I do not know, maybe this is for you a known scheme of treatment.This scheme is good for acupuncture and electroacupuncture therapy.
scalp acupuncture, ear acupuncture... anything that is central nervous system activating... look at Jason Hao's book
according to level 1 evidence it does not have any effect. please read the metaanalysis below thank you.

I have to disagree with Mr Veettill. Since 2010 has been a lot of evidence to support acupuncture however you can not put stroke survivors in one box fits all. You have to individualise the treatment. Of course some of the points can be used for the majority of treatments but in the end your patient is an individual. Also, neuro rehab covered a lot of ground. I use scalp acupuncture ( Yamamoto as well as Chinese), acupuncture but most i started to use pyonex needles which work wonders for releasing the tone in the UL. (This is my current project)
yes i agree to diana. each patient we give individualized treatment and can work well but we have guidelines to follow since we follow the evidence based practice. so could you provide some level 1 or 2 evidences because i underwent 80 hours of electroaccupunture course from dr.chris norris (UK) so that time(2011) on discussion it was not having any effect. so it will be helpful if you publish any case studies so that we can share our knowledge. thank you.
i will look and post them for you. Please do not give up electro-acupuncture as it can work wonders for neuro patients.

I had a good persistent result of treatment of the post-stroke patient with hemiplegia, which was the consequence of ischemic stroke.
First applied acupuncture, needles, two courses, then electroacupuncture three courses.
The patient was able to walk and independently move his arm, although the high muscle tone could not be completely reduced. Electroacupuncture treatment was performed with bipolar impulse current, with a frequency of 2.4 kHz to 0.1 Hz, pulse shape sawtooth, duty cycle from 10 to 1.
