Background and Purpose : Paresthesia is a common symptom in stroke patients, but very little research has been done on that. The purpose of this research was differentiating the syndromes of paresthesia in stroke patients. Methods: We studied about the paresthesia in 21 stroke patients. To differentiate the syndromes of paresthesia in stroke patients, we use oriental medicine methods. The locations of the lesions were identified with the use of CT and/or MRI. Results: The differentiation of syndroms about paresthesia were Yinhuyanghangzeng, Hynleozeng and Hwaynlzeng in order of frequency. Yinhuyanghangzeng was more frequent in female and at upper extremity. Hyuleozeng was accompanied with Qihuzeng and Yinhuyanghangzeng and its duration of disease was relatively long. Hwayulzeng was more frequent in male and its duration of disease was short. Conclusions : We hope there are more studies about the differentiation of syndroms and exantinations of paresthesia in many stroke patients.
