Objective

2

To explore the application effect of traditional Chinese medicine nursing scheme for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis on patients with ischemic stroke of blood stasis syndrome in the acute phase.

Methods

2

A total of 82 patients with ischemic stroke of blood stasis syndrome hospitalized in the Department of Encephalopathy，Xiyuan Hospital of China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences（CACMS）from December 2023 to May 2024 were selected and divided into observation group and control group by using the random envelope method， and the control group was given the routine treatment and TCM nursing program in the acute phase of stroke，while the observation group was given TCM care according to different types of blood stasis，including regulating qi and activating blood circulation，tonifying qi and activating blood circulation，dispelling phlegm and activating blood circulation，and warming yang and activating blood circulation，with an intervention duration of 2 weeks.The scores of TCM syndrome grading quantitative scale，the scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale（NIHSS），the scores of ability to perform activities of daily living（ADL），and the scores of blood stasis syndrome in both groups before and after the intervention were compared.

RESULTS

2

At the end of the intervention，there were statistically significant differences between the two groups in ADL score（

Z

=-2.24，

P

=0.025），TCM syndrome grading score（

Z

=3.102，

P

=0.036），NIHSS score（

Z

=2.27，

P

=0.023），and blood stasis syndrome score（

Z

=-3.309，

P

=0.036）.

CONCLUSION

2

Chinese medicine care for activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis can improve the blood stasis condition，neurological deficits，activities of daily living ability，and the outcome of Chinese medicine treatment in patients with blood stasis syndrome of ischemic stroke.
