abstract: To observe the therapeutic effects of the prescription of Huo Nao Fang ([symbol: see text]) on ischemic apoplexy, 120 patients were divided into a treatment group and a control group, with 60 in each group, the former treated with Huo Nao Fang while the latter with western medicine. The nervous function and blood rheology were tested before and after treatment for both groups, and the effects of Huo Nao Fang were evaluated. The results showed that the total effective rate was 91.7% in the treatment group and 61.6% in the control group, with a significant difference (P < 0.01) between the two groups. The treatment group was superior to the control group in improving blood rheology, reducing blood lipid and restoring the nervous function (P < 0.05).
