Buyang Huanwu Decoction With Wuling Powder for Acute Ischemic Stroke

Sponsor: Liaoning University of Traditional Chinese Medicine

Summary

Acute ischemic stroke is a common cause of disability. Standard Western medical treatment is widely used, but some patients continue to have neurological impairment and difficulty with daily activities after stroke. This study evaluated whether Buyang Huanwu Decoction combined with Wuling Powder, when added to standard Western medical treatment, could help improve recovery in patients with acute ischemic stroke. Eligible patients were randomly assigned to receive either standard Western medical treatment alone or standard Western medical treatment plus Buyang Huanwu Decoction combined with Wuling Powder for 14 days. The study assessed neurological function, activities of daily living, disability outcomes, and short-term safety. Blood samples were also collected to explore changes in serum metabolites and redox-related biomarkers that may be related to treatment response. A non-stroke reference group was included only for serum metabolomic comparison and was not part of the randomized treatment comparison.
