In this 4-week, assessor-blind, randomized, controlled study of electro-acupuncture (EA) as additional treatment with the antidepressant drug called fluoxetine (FLX), a total of 60 patients with post-stroke depression (PSD) will be recruited. The patients will be randomly assigned to FLX (10-30 mg/day) combined with active cranial and body acupuncture (n =30) or FLX with placebo cranial and active body acupuncture (n =30) (12 sessions, 3 sessions a week). Changes in the severity of depressive symptoms over time are measured using depressive scale instruments. Clinical response and remission rates are also calculated. The study will be conducted at HKU School of Chinese Medicine, Tung Wah Hospital, and Kowloon Hospital, Hong Kong.
