What is the Mechanism of Action of Scalp acupuncture?
1. Regulates vascular tone by influencing sympathetic and parasympathetic balance.
2. Improves blood circulation and microvascular perfusion.
3. Modulates the hypothalamic thermoregulatory center, stabilizing body temperature.
All of these except 1 and 3.

Scalp Acupuncture Lines - Motor LineLocation: Where is the beginning point of the motor line?
The motor line begins at the intersection of the parietal bone protuberance and the glabella.
The motor line begins at the eyebrow of the frontal bone protuberance and the glabella.
The motor line begins at the midpoint of the external occipital protuberance and the glabella.
The motor line begins at the point of the temporal bone and the glabella.
Scalp Acupuncture Lines - Motor LineLocation: Where is the ending point of the motor line?
At the intersection of the midpoint line and the anterior border of the temporal hairline.
At the intersection of the temporal bone anterior border of the temporal hairline.
At the intersection of the eyebrow-occipital line and the anterior border of the temporal hairline.
At the intersection of the frontal bone and the anterior border of the temporal hairline.
Divisions of the Motor Line: The motor line is divided into five equal segments, following a somatotopic(mirror-image) representation of the body: • Upper 1/5 segment: Lower body (legs, feet). • Middle 2/5 segment: Trunk and upper limbs. • Lower 2/5 segment (near the anterior hairline): Face, head, and oral function.
True
False
Indications: Are these motor dysfunction conditions included in Scalp Acupuncture?
1. Stroke sequelae (hemiplegia, weakness)
2. Parkinson’s disease (motor rigidity, bradykinesia)
3. Cerebral palsy (spasticity, motor impairment)
4. Multiple sclerosis (muscle weakness, ataxia)
5. Ataxia (poor coordination, balance issues)
• Peripheral motor neuropathy (e.g., post-traumatic nerve injury)
All of these except 2 and 3.
All of these except 2 and 5.
All of these .
None these except 2 and 3.
Mechanism of Action: What are the mechanisms of Scalp Acupuncture?
1. Stimulate motor cortex and motor neurons, restoring voluntary motor control.
2. Enhance neuromuscular coordination and muscle activation.
3. Facilitate neuroplasticity, promoting functional motor recovery in post-stroke rehabilitation.
All of these except 2 and 3.

All of these except 1 and 3.
None of these 2 and 3.
Sensory Line Where is the sensory line location?
Located 2.5 cm posterior to the motor line, running parallel to it.
Located 1.5 cm posterior to the motor line, running parallel to it.
Located 0.5 cm posterior to the motor line, running parallel to it.
Located 1.5 cm posterior to the motor line, running vertically to it.
Indications: Scalp acupuncture is used for sensory dysfunctions such as: 1. Chronic pain syndromes (e.g., fibromyalgia, trigeminal neuralgia, neuropathic pain) 2. Numbness, tingling, paresthesia (e.g., diabetic neuropathy, nerve compression) 3. Post-stroke sensory loss 4. Phantom limb pain (post-amputation)
All of these.
All of these except 2 and 3.
All of these except 2 and 4.
None of these.
Mechanism of Action: What are the mechanisms of Scalp acupuncture for sensory dysfunctions?
1. Stimulates the somatosensory cortex to enhance sensory perception and nerve conduction.
2. Modulates pain pathways via cortical inhibition and neuroplasticity.
3. Helps restore normal sensory function after nerve injury or damage.
All of these except 1 and 3.
All of these except 2 and 3.
All of these.
None of these except 3.
Where is the Chorea and Tremor Control Area located?
Located on the scalp, specifically located 1.0 centimeters in front of the Motor Area.
Located on the scalp, specifically located 1.5 centimeters in front of the Motor Area.
Located on the face, specifically located 2.5 centimeters in front of the Motor Area.
Located on the scalp, specifically located 0.5 centimeters in front of the Motor Area.
Indications: Scalp acupuncture is used for movement disorders such as: 1. Tremors (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, essential tremor) 2. Chorea (e.g., Huntington’s disease) 3. Muscle tics and spasms (e.g., Tourette’s syndrome, dystonia) 4. Dyskinesia due to medication side effects (e.g., levodopa-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson’s)
All of these.
All of these except 1 and 3.
All of these except 2 and 4.
None of these.
Mechanism of Action: What are the mechanisms of action of scalp acupuncture?
1. Modulates the basal ganglia, thalamus, and motor cortex, which regulate movement.
2. Reduces excessive neural excitability, helping to calm involuntary movements.
3. Improves motor coordination and stability in disorders with abnormal motor activity.
All of these except 1 and 3.

Located 2 cm anterior to the motor line
Indications: Used for vascular and autonomic dysfunctions, including: 1. Raynaud’s disease (poor circulation to extremities) 2. Cold hands/feet (circulatory insufficiency) 3. Hot flashes and night sweats (e.g., menopausal symptoms) 4. Blood pressure instability (autonomic dysfunction) 5. Orthostatic hypotension 6. Peripheral vascular disease
