Brain zaps: could acupuncture with electricity boost memory after stroke?

This study tests whether electroacupuncture (a gentle electric current applied to acupuncture points) can improve thinking and memory in people who have cognitive problems after a stroke. About 110 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either real electroacupuncture or a sham (fake) version, alongside standard care. The main goal is to see if the real treatment leads to better scores on memory and thinking tests over 6 months, and to understand how it might work using brain scans.
