Clinical effect of butylphthalide combined with ganglioside in treating patients with intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction and its effect on neurological function
ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical effect of butylphthalide combined with ganglioside in the treatment of patients with intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction and its effect on neurological function. MethodsA total of 138 patients with intravenous thrombolysis for acute cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from March 2016 to March 2019 were randomly divided into control group and observation group, with 69 cases in each group. On the premise of basic treatment, ganglioside was employed to patients in the control group, whereas butylphthalide combined with ganglioside was performed to patients in the observation group, for fourteen-day continuous treatment. The clinical efficacy of patients was compared between the two groups. The pre- and post-treatment levels of coagulation factors, neurological deficit scores (NIHSS scores), daily life ability scores (Barthel index, BI), and the occurrence of adverse reactions were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe clinical efficacy of the observation group was superior to that of the control group. The total effective rate (92.75%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (79.71%), and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). After 14 days of treatment, the level of thrombin III (AT Ⅲ) in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group, and D-dimer (DD), fibrinogen (FIB), and platelet aggregation rate (PAG) were significantly lower than those in the control group, with the statistically significant differences (P<0.05). Compared to the control group, the observation group obtained a higher BI score, lower NIHSS score, with the statistically significant differences (P<0.05). There were no obvious adverse reactions in both groups during the treatment period. ConclusionThe treatment of butylphthalide combined with ganglioside can prominently improve the clinical efficacy in patients with acute cerebral infarction, improve neurological function and prognosis, and thus the treatment is highly safe.
