Research progress in the treatment of cerebral stroke with traditional Chinese medicine formulas based on gut microbiota
Objective To summarize the research progress of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)formulas in the treatment of cerebral stroke(CS)by regulating the gut microbiota,and provide a reference for future studies.Methods Relevant literatures were reviewed and analyzed to explore the mechanisms of TCM formulas in treating CS through regulating gut microbiota.Results TCM formulas can promote the diversity and balance of gut microbiota by reducing harmful bacteria,increasing beneficial bacteria,and regulating gut immunity and metabolism,which can positively affect the occurrence and recovery of CS.In addition,TCM formulas also have antioxidant,anti-inflammatory,and anticoagulant effects,which can benefit the treatment of CS.Conclusion The regulatory effects of TCM formulas on gut microbiota have become a research hotspot in the field of CS.The regulation of the gut microbiota through the balance of its internal environment is of great significance in the prevention and treatment of CS,but further experiments and clinical studies are needed to verify its efficacy.
