Objective: To observe the clinical curative effect of Tongfu Huazhuo dcoction in the treatment of early rehabilitation of ischemic stroke. Method: Ninety patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group according to the Before and after hospitalization sequence

each 45 cases. The two group were treated with western medicine on life support

medical treatment

health education routine treatment

and use traditional Chinese medicine comprehensive rehabilitation treatment

including massage

acupuncture

medicated bath. Observation group was added with Tongfu Huazhuo decoction

oral

1 dosage/day

two groups were treated for 4 weeks.Assessed the nerve function defect severity by the United States National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS); assessed the limb motor function by Evaluation of Fugl-Meyer motor function scale (FMI);Assessed the activities of daily living by Daily life activities ability scale (BI); assessed the limb spasticity by the modified Ashworth spasticity scale; assessed the morbidity/mortality by the revised the Rankin scale (MRS)

to measure the content of S100B protein serum. Result: Treatment of 7

14

28 days

the observation group NIHSS scores were lower than the control group (P<0.01); 14

28 days

the observation group FMI

BI were higher than that of the control group (P<0.01)

and the observation group modified Ashworth score was lower than that of the control group (P<0.01);after 3

7 and 14 days' treatment the observation group were lower than control group (P<0.01) for S100B protein serum. After 3 months of follow-up the observation group MRS were lower than control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: In the comprehensive rehabilitation scheme

Tongfu Huazhuo dcoction improves nerve function and the motor function

enhances the capacity of life activity

reduces S100B protein serum and lowers morbidity/mortality. Tongfu Huazhuo Fang plays an important role in the early rehabilitation of stroke.
