To observe the clinical efficacy of heat-sensitive moxibustion in intervening acute ischemic stroke. A total of 112 patients were divided into a control group and an observation group by the random number table method, with 56 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional treatment, and the observation group was treated with heat-sensitive moxibustion on the basis of the treatment in the control group. The National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) and modified Barthel index (MBI) were evaluated, and the intracranial hemodynamic indicators including mean velocity (Vm), pulsatility index (PI) and resistance index (RI) were recorded, and the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and homocysteine (HCY) were measured before and after treatment. Clinical efficacy was evaluated after treatment. The total effective rate of the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P
