Abstract:Objective To evaluate the effects of modified Ditan decoction combined with piracetam injection on cognitive function, cerebral hemodynamic parameters, and activities of daily living in patients with stroke.Methods A total of 122 stroke patients admitted to Ankang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from February 2019 to February 2024 were included and randomly assigned to a control group (n = 61, piracetam injection alone) and a combination group (n = 61, piracetam injection plus modified Ditan decoction). The primary evaluation indicators included cognitive function, neurological function, cerebral hemodynamics, activities of daily living, and adverse reactions.Results The differences in NCSE and MoCA scores before and after treatment were greater in the combination group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The reduction in NIHSS score was greater in the combination group than in the control group (P < 0.05). The differences in MCA, BA, and Vmean before and after treatment were also greater in the combination group (P < 0.05). The improvement in ADL score was greater in the combination group than in the control group (P < 0.05). No statistically significant difference was observed in the overall incidence of adverse reactions between the two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusion Modified Ditan decoction combined with piracetam injection effectively improves cognitive function and cerebral hemodynamic parameters in patients with stroke, enhances activities of daily living, and demonstrates good safety. This therapeutic strategy is suitable for clinical application and promotion.
