Objective: To observe the effects of therapeutic method of expelling wind, eliminating phlegm and promoting blood circulation (EWEPPB) in treating acute cerebral infarction (ACI) depending on the clinical and data platform of stroke clinical unit.
Methods: ACI patients were randomly assigned to the control group (36 cases) treated by routine Western therapy alone and the treatment group (32 cases) with routine therapy plus Chinese medicinal compound for EWEPPB. The treatment course was 14 days. The scores of TCM symptom, the NIH stroke scale (NIHSS), and Barthel index (BI) were used for evaluating the effect of treatment.
Results: The scores of TCM symptom and NIHSS decreased, and that of BI increased after treatment in both groups, and the treatment in the treatment group showed a effect significantly better than that in the control group (P < 0.05).
Conclusion: EWEPPB is effective method in treating ACI, traditional Chinese compounds for EWEPPB could play a positive role in the stroke unit.
