Observational study on the use of Panax NotoGinseng LUOTAI in ischemic cerebrovascular accidents in Senegal |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Stroke is the leading cause of death and disability in the world. Although various units are in place for their management, the mortality associated with its aftermath remains dramatic. They represent an economic burden for the family and for the whole society knowledge and management of its complications are fundamental in the care.
Since the advent of fibrinolysis and the creation of Neurovascular units, the management of ischemic strokes has largely evolved with a considerable improvement in life and functional prognosis. However, in our socio-economic conditions, diagnostic retardation, absence of Neurovascular centres, and lack of availability of fibrinolytics make the prognosis still bleak. Other therapies next to fibrinolysis are used to prevent recurrence and complications. This is the case for antiplatelet agents (aspirin-Clopidogrel) and statins. With this therapeutic approach aimed at improving the care of these patients, molecules whose active ingredients were extracted from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia showed their efficacy.
Pharmacological studies have indicated that some herbal medicines in particular ginseng can improve coronary and cerebral revascularization, by exerting an antiaggregable platelet effect, improving circulation by reduction of blood stasis. They protect against ischemic reperfusion lesions and improve the tolerance of ischemic tissue to hypoxia.
Increasingly, studies report, the use of these molecules in the emergency treatment of acute stroke. These study reports show that ginseng could increase the effectiveness of the management of strokes. Three recent studies on the use of ginseng have mentalised the improvement of neurological deficit during stroke with good tolerance. However, it has not yet been studied in the black African subject, the objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of this therapeutic DALYS in a Senegalese population in the hospital environment
