Clinical Observation on Efficacy of Tanyu Zuluo Formula in Treating 46 Acute Stroke Patients with the Middle Cerebral Artery Stenosis.
Objective:To explore the influence on recent and long-term efficacy of Tanyu Zuluo formula in the middle cerebral artery stenosis in acute stroke patients. Method:There were 86 patients with acute is chemic stroke randomly divided into tradition Chinese medicines (TCM) group (46) and western medicine group(40). Both groups were given routine treatment,and in the TCM group,patients also given TCM herbs. The blood flow rate of middle cerebral artery,neurologic impairment and activity of daily living,on the first, seventh,fourteenth and ninetieth day were observed. Result:In booth groups blood flow rate of middle cere-bral artery improved,NIHSS scores decreased,and Barthel indexes increased obviously,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);compared with the western medicine group,the TCM group showed difference on blood flow rate of middle cerebral artery,NIHSS scores and Barthel indexes(P<0.05). Conclusion:Western medicine combined with TCM showed better effect than western medicine alone in treating acute ischemic stroke pa-tients with middle cerebral artery stenosis,for it could significantly improve middle cerebral artery perfusion.
