Summary

This study tests whether a traditional Chinese herbal formula called Qingre Huatan can prevent early neurological deterioration in people who have had an acute ischemic stroke within the last 48 hours. The trial will involve 72 participants, who will receive either the herbal granules or a placebo twice daily for 10 days, alongside standard stroke care. The main goal is to see if the formula reduces the risk of worsening symptoms within the first week.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Qingre Huatan formula (herbal granules)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to prevent early neurological decline after a stroke, potentially reducing long-term disability.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase pilot trial with only 72 participants, so results may not be conclusive. The herbal formula may not outperform placebo, and individual responses can vary.
