Post-stroke depression (PSD) is a prevalent psychiatric complication among stroke survivors. The PSD researches focus on pathogenesis, new treatment methods and efficacy prediction. This study explored the electroencephalography (EEG) microstates in PSD and assessed their changes after acupuncture treatment, aiming to find the biological characteristics and the predictors of treatment efficacy of PSD.
