Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 35 to 80 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Who may be able to join

  • The CT/MRI examination findings were consistent with the diagnosis of Western cerebral infarction, aligning with the TCM apoplexy diagnosis. Primary stroke occurred 35±5 days ago.
  • The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) evaluates a range of scores from 4 to 24.
  • Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is confirmed through coronary CT angiography. Carotid artery ultrasonography is employed to ascertain the presence or absence of plaque formation, with stable plaques exhibiting predominantly high and uneven echogenicity, while unstable plaques displayed low echo or irregular hypoechoic regions.
  • Age range: ≥35 years to ≤80 years.
  • First onset requires; patients with previous diseases and no sequelae such as limb paralysis should not affect the NIHSS score, and the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score should be ≤1 point.
  • Patient informed consent must be obtained.
  • The criteria for the syndrome of phlegm and blood stasis are as follows: Main syndrome: hemiplegia, mouth and eyes skew, speech retarding or silent, sensation diminished or disappeared; Secondary syndrome: excessive sputum, fat tongue with teeth marks on the side, dark red tongue, sublingual vein blue or tortuous, tongue spots, white or thick greasy fur, pulse slippery.

  • subarachnoid hemorrhage, transient ischemic attack, or other intracranial lesions such as intracranial tumor, aneurysm, vascular malformation, cerebral cysticercosis, intracerebral schistosomiasis, encephalitis, meningitis, hydrocephalus, and sequelae of brain trauma; Nonatherosclerotic thrombotic cerebral infarction (e.g., cardiogenic embolism, hypercoagulability disorders, endovascular shedding and arteritis);
  • onset occurring within a range of 30 to 40 days;
  • The patient presents with limb motor dysfunction, emotional disorder, cognitive impairment, or speech impairment resulting from pre-existing conditions (e.g., surgery, trauma, or congenital disability) prior to the onset of cerebrovascular accident.

About this study

Official title: Effect of Taohong Tongluo Xiaoban Prescription on Reprogramming of Lipid Metabolism and Endothelial Injury for Cerebral Infarction Patients:a Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial

This study is a prospective, open-label, randomized control trial. It is planning to include 160 cerebral infarction patients which will be randomized in a 1﹕1 fashion to receive Chinese herbal medicines combined basic medicine treatment, or to receive standard basic medicine treatment within 3 months after inclusion. Follow-up will be performed after the treatment for 3 months to evaluate the incidence and disability rates of limb impairment, language impairment, cognitive impairment, and emotional disorders. The primary outcome is modified Rankin Scale Score, which is measured by the overall distribution from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death). The secondary outcome include the Evaluation of Neurological Function Deficit score (National Institute of Health stroke scale scoring) and carotid atherosclerotic plaque score (Crouse scoring system for neck carotid atherosclerotic plaque scoring). Additional outcomes include laboratory indicator to analysis the reprogramming of lipid metabolism and endothelial Injury, Chinese medicine symptom and sign scoring system and biological indicators. The investigators will perform the intention-to-treat analysis for withdrawal and missing data, and estimate the health economic value.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Taohong Tongluo Xiaoban PrescriptionOther

    Chinese herbal medicine "Taohong Tongluo Xiaoban prescription", which includes Pinelliae Rhizoma, Poria, Bambusae caulis in taenias, Aurantii Fructus Immaturus, Arisaema cum bile, Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma, Persicae Semen, Carthami Flos, Chuanxiong Rhizoma and Paeoniae Radix Rubra as a once - daily dosage with one administration per dose

  • Fundamental medical treatmentOther

    The specific methods were developed in accordance with the 2010 Chinese Guidelines for Secondary Prevention of Ischemic Stroke and Transient Ischemic Attack. It primarily involves managing risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, abnormal lipid metabolism, etc., and implementing antithrombotic therapy including antiplatelet agents (aspirin, clopidogrel, dipyridamole, dipyridamole + aspirin, clopidogrel + aspirin, silostazole, triflurosal, etc). For the management of post-stroke mood disorders, cognitive impairments, and spastic paralysis, pharmacological interventions encompass oral administration of anxiolytic or antidepressant agents, anti-dementia medications, as well as muscle relaxants.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Modified Rankin Scale Score

    Higher scores mean a worse outcome,measured by the overall distribution from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death).

    Measured: 0,30days,60days and 90days post-intervention

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)

    Higher scores mean a worse outcome,measured by the overall distribution from 0 (normal) to 42 (severe apoplexy).

    Measured: 0,30days,60days and 90days post-intervention

  2. Carotid atherosclerotic plaque score

    Course scoring system for neck carotid atherosclerotic plaque scoring. Higher scores mean a worse outcome,the minimum value is 0 . The plaque score of the carotid artery on each side was calculated by summing up the maximum thickness (mm) of isolated carotid artery plaques, and the total plaque score of each patient was obtained by adding up the plaque scores from both sides.

    Measured: 0 and 90days post-intervention

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Modified Rankin Scale Score (time frame: 0,30days,60days and 90days post-intervention). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
