Clinical Study on the Treatment of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage With Panax Notoginseng Saponin

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The purpose of this study is to determine whether panax notoginseng saponins are effective in the treatment of Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Patients.

Detailed Description
-----------------
Patients with HICH were randomly assigned to receive either PNS integrated with conventional therapy. Patients were treated with conventional therapy for 3 days, then plus PNS for 14 days. Patients in the control group received conventional therapy for 17days. Hematoma volume measured by CT scanning, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, Barthel index (BI), all the three were used to evaluate the therapeutic effect for both groups after two weeks of intervention.

Arms and Interventions

| Participant Group/Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
| --- | --- |
| No Intervention: control group<br>Patients in the control group received conventional therapy for 17 days.conventional therapy consists of: (1) dehydration therapy by 20%mannitol (Tianjin Bane Medical Drugs Ltd., Co., China.) with the dosage from 125 to 250 ml every 8 h for 7 days depending on their clinically presumed intracranial pressure, (2) therapy to deal with complications including glucose-lowering treatment for hyperglycemia, antihypertensive treatment for hypertension, anti-inflammatory treatment for infection, acid inhibitor for peptic ulcer, and (3) supportive therapy, such as physical cooling, nutritional support, fluid, and electrolyte balance, which was provided as needed. | |
| Other: intervention group<br>Patients in the intervention group received the same conventional therapy as in the control group for 3 days, brain CT was re-scanned at the 4th day, and was then given conventional therapy plus XUESAITONG Injection,which was mainly composed of Panax notoginseng saponins for 14 days from the 4th day. | Drug: Panax Notoginseng Saponins<br>* Panax Notoginseng Saponins integrated with conventional therapy<br>* Other names: XUESAITONG Injection;|
