[Clinical study on Zhuyu Xiaozhong mixture combined with stereotaxic drainage in treating hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage].
OBJECTIVE
To explore the effective method of integrated traditional Chinese and western medicine (TCM-WM) therapy in treating hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage (HCH).


METHODS
Sixty-one HCH patients were randomly divided into two groups: the treated group (group A, 31 cases) and the control group (group B, 30 cases), the former group was treated with stereotaxic drainage and orally taken Zhuyu Xiaozhong mixture (ZYXZM), and the latter group with stereotaxic drainage alone.


RESULTS
The total effective rate of group A was 83.9%, significantly higher than that of group B (60.0%, P < 0.05). In comparing the two groups, the neurological function recovery, the quality of life and the hematoma absorption in group A were significantly better than those of group B (P < 0.05).


CONCLUSIONS
ZYXZM combined with stereotaxic drainage is effective in treating HCH. It could promote the neurological function recovery and improve the quality of life as well.
