ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Compound changpu yizhi decoction combined with nimodipine on clini-cal symptoms,cognitive function and cerebral blood flow velocity of patients with mild cognitive impairment(MCI)after stroke, and its medication safety. METHODS:84 MCI patients after stroke in our hospital from Feb. 2012 to Oct. 2014 were selected as re-search objects and randomly divided into observation group and control group,42 cases in each group. All patients received basic preventive treatment;control group was additionally given Nimodipine tablet 30 mg,tid,po;based on it,observation group was given Compound changpu yizhi decoction,one dose a day,taking with warm water every morning and evening. They were treated for 3 months. Clinical symptoms of patients were compared by vascular dementia TCM syndrome table before and after treatment, mini-mental state examination(MMSE)was used to compare the cognitive function of patients before and after treatment,cerebral blood flow velocity before and after treatment and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in clinical symptom scores,cognitive function score and blood flow velocity of main artery between 2 groups(P>0.05). Clinical symptom scores of 2 groups were decreased significantly,while cognitive function and cerebral blood flow velocity were increased significantly;there was statistical significance,compared to before treatment (P0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Compound changpu yi-zhi decoction combined with nimodipine helps to relieve clinical symptoms of MCI patients after stroke,improve cerebral blood circulation and cognitive function,with good safety.
