Clinical effect of self-made stuffiness-relieving and blood stasis-removing decoction in treatment of traumatic intracerebral hematoma with Qi stagnation and blood stasis:An analysis of 51 cases
Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of self-made stuffiness-relieving and blood stasis-removing decoction in the treatment of traumatic intracerebral hematoma with Qi stagnation and blood stasis.Methods:A total of 100 patients with traumatic intracerebral hematoma with Qi stagnation and blood stasis were enrolled and randomly divided into treatment group with 51 patients and control group with 49 patients.The patients in the control group received basic treatment and conventional Western medicine treatment,and those in the treatment group received the oral administration of self-made stuffiness-relieving and blood stasis-removing decoc-tion in addition to the treatment in the control group.The two groups were observed in terms of the treatment out-come of TCM syndrome after 2 weeks of treatment,as well as hematoma absorption,edema absorption,neurological deficit(NIHSS)score,and TCM syndrome score before treatment and after 1 and 2 weeks of treatment.Results:The treatment group had a significantly higher overall response rate than the control group[94.11%(48/51)vs 75.51%(37/49),P<0.05].After treatment,both groups had significant reductions in hematoma volume,edema volume,NIHSS score,and TCM syndrome score,and there were significant differences in these indices between the two groups at each time point after treatment(P<Q.05 or P<0.01).Conclusion:For patients with traumatic intrace-rebral hematoma with Qi stagnation and blood stasis,self-made stuffiness-relieving and blood stasis-removing de-coction in addition to conventional treatment can promote neurological function recovery,improve TCM syndrome,and promote hematoma and edema absorption.
