  • Objectives : This study was aim to investigate the relationship between NIHSS and distribution of pattern identification in stroke patients. Methods : 1471 participants from the patients hospitalized for stroke within 4 weeks from April 2007 to August 2009 were included. They were grouped according to the NIHSS score; group 1 for the participants whose NIHSS were less than six, group 2 for seven to fifteen, and group 3 for over than sixteen. And the patients were re-divided into two groups according to their post-onset interval. The difference of distribution of five pattern identification for each group were investigated. And five pattern identification were re-analyzed according to the deficiency-excess pattern identification. K-W test was used for statistical synthesis, and the result was regarded as significant one, if its p-value was below 0.05. Results : Dampness-phelegm pattern was the most frequent out of five patterns in total participants as well as all the subgroups. In group 3 with more serious neurological deficit, larger proportion of patients in early acute stage was diagnosed as excess pattern including Fire-Heat pattern. On the other side the proportion of Deficiency of Qi and Yin was larger in late convalescent stage of group 3 than in other groups. But nothing was statistically significant. Conclusions : Further study including patients with more variant classification with follow-up evaluation is needed to reflect the real characteristics of stroke population.

  • Because syndrome-differentiation is one of the major characteristics in oriental medicine, there would be a possibility that the same herbal medicine show different effects on the same disease, if syndrome differentiation is ignored. In this report, we observed different response of Yukmijihwang-tang in diabetic stroke patients according to their syndrome differentiation. One case diagnosed as 'Kidney-yin deficiency syndrome' showed remarkable improvement on diabetes mellitus, whereas the serum glucose levels of the other 4 cases diagnosed as 'non Kidney-yin deficiency syndrome' were lowered little. These results are in accordance with the oriental medical theory that Yukmijihwang-tang can treat 'Kidney-yin deficiency syndrome'. Therefore, we suggest that subsequent clinical trials on oriental medicine would have to include the concept of differentiation of syndromes in order to take out the merit of oriental medicine.
