Abstract:Objective To investigate the curative effect of Trimetazidine in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 92 patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomized (46 cases per group) into experimental group and control group. The control group was treated with Aspirin, Simvastatin, Xueshuantong,Oxiracetam and other routine treatments, while Trimetazidine was given additionally to the treatment group (20 mg,po, tid). The NIH stroke scale (NIHSS), activities of daily living (ADL) Barthel index and the plasma concentrations of C-reactive protein (CRP) were compared prior and the 2nd week post treatment, and the levels of TEG and PAgT before and the 1st week after treatment were measured between the two groups. Results After treatment, the NIHSS score, the ADL score and the levels of CRP, MA, CI and PAgT were gradually decreased, and r, m, k, were increased markedly. The difference between the two groups showed remarkable significance (P < 0.05). In the treatment group,the total effective rate was increased remarkably, the progressive cerebral infarction was decreased and no additional adverse drug reactions occurred compared with the control group. Conclusions Not only does Trimetazidine in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction exist antithrombotic effect, but also improves neurological symptoms, self-care ability and the clinical effect and reduces the incidence of progressive cerebral infarction without increase in side effect.
