脳血管障害に対する黄連解毒湯の効果と脳血流の定量的評価

摘要

57 patients with sequela of cerebrovascular diseases were treated with "Oren-gedoku-to" for 8 weeks to examine the possibilities of improvements in subjective symptom,motive deterioration, mental disorder,unusual behaviors and intellectual malfunction.These symptoms showed improvement of 41.6%,54.2%,75.0%,63.0%,21.3%,respectively.For 21 patients, amount of regional cerebral blood flow were measured with SPECT.Results showed an increase of 1.7ml/100g/min.at average.However,there was no statistical difference observed among improved cases,slightly improved cases and no change or deteriorated cases."Oren-gedoku-to" worked effectively for cerebrovascular diseases with the exception of intellctual malfunction.Results of the SPECT suggest though,it is uncertain whether these improvements were brought about by the increase of cerebral blood flow.
