Yes. My acupuncturist has had great success treating stroke patients with acupuncture in combination with physical therapy.
I wouldn't say 100% reliable. But acupuncture def. can help the stroke sufferer recover.

The trick is to start acupuncture treatments as soon as you can after the stoke. The longer you wait (months and months) the more difficult it will be.

Start treatments early and find a qualified acupuncturist such as from here

My typical stroke patients come in with a gait problem (dragging one leg), often partial loss of hearing and vision on one side, aphasic speech, etc.

within 3 to 4 weeks of 2x per week treatment even an 82 year old woman did the jig (dance) in our waiting room. The results are similarly spectacular with autism, ADD, ADHD as post-stroke. Usually it's just not a big deal to dispense with symptoms and precludes those ridiculously long and laborious rehab programs. We use the needles to tell the brain to reawaken rather than to put the body through movements and exercises hoping the brain will jump on the bandwagon.

best wishes!
