Decreased risk of stroke in patients receiving traditional Chinese medicine for vertigo: A population-based cohort study

摘要

Ethnopharmacological relevance: Patients with vertigo are reported to exhibit a higher risk of subsequent stroke. However, it remains unclear if Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the most common form of complementary and alternative medicine, can help lower the risk of stroke for these patients. So the aim of the study was to investigate the effects of TCM on stroke risk among patients with vertigo.
