Summary

This study tests whether a lab-made version of bezoar, called Calculus Bovis Sativus (CBS), can help people recover from a brain hemorrhage. 300 participants will take CBS or natural bezoar pills for 7 days. Researchers will measure recovery using standard stroke scales and brain scans over 12 weeks.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance: Calculus Bovis Sativus (CBS), a lab-made version of bezoar (a substance from animal gallstones)
What this could lead to: If it works, this could point toward a new treatment to help people recover better after a brain hemorrhage.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with no phase designation, so results are uncertain. The treatment is only given for 7 days, and long-term benefits or risks are not yet known.
