We are facing the impact of an aging population on a global scale. Neurological diseases are among the most complex and challenging pathologies in this era. Therapeutic methods for these diseases include medication and non-medication therapies. Regrettably, there are few reliable and effective therapies for most neurological diseases.

Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that EA, a technique that integrates electrical stimulation and acupuncture, could exert beneficial effects on cerebral vascular diseases. Moreover, it has positive effects in fighting against neurodegenerative diseases, brain injury, spinal cord injury, and tumors of the central nervous system. However, the concrete mechanism of EA treatment for neurological diseases still remains unclear. Thus, a better illumination of the molecular mechanisms involved in EA treatment for such diseases can have a crucial impact on exploring novel and effective targets.

The aim of this Special Issue is to collate original research and review articles on this topic. We also welcome clinical studies studying the mechanisms of various novel therapies for neurological diseases. In this Special Issue, we focus on the role and mechanisms of electroacupuncture (EA) for neurological diseases to provide evidence that EA might be a promising therapeutic method for such diseases.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Molecular mechanisms of EA for cerebral vascular diseases therapy
• Molecular mechanisms of EA treatment for neurodegenerative diseases therapy
• Molecular mechanisms of EA treatment for brain tumours
• Molecular mechanisms of EA treatment for brain injury
• Molecular mechanisms of EA treatment for spinal cord injury
• Molecular mechanisms of complementary and alternative medicine interventions for stroke (e.g., massage, cupping, chinese medicine herbs, etc.)
• Molecular mechanisms of rehabilitation medicine interventions for stroke (e.g., transcranial electric stimulation (TES), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), etc.)
