First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at over 2,400 stroke patients who received clot-busting drugs (alteplase or tenecteplase) within 4.5 hours of symptoms. Researchers wanted to see if adding Shuxuetong injection, a traditional Chinese medicine, could improve recovery and reduce disability. The goal was to gather real-world evidence on whether this combination is safe and effective.
