Clinical observation of edaravone on acute cerebral infarction

Objective To observe the effect of edaravone on acute cerebral infarction.Methods Seventy-eight cases of acute mid-ranged cerebral infarction were randomly divided into treatment and control groups.The patients in treated group were given edaravone besides conventional treatment which was given in control only.On the 14th day after treatment,the patients in both groups were assessed with neurological function deficit scores and efficacy assessed.Results After(10～14) days treatment,the neurological function deficit score of treated group were significantly lower than control group(10.4±3.9) VS(14.9±4.6) points(P0.05);Total effective rate in treated group was 89.5%,wheres that in contrel group was 70.0%(P0.05).Conclusion Edaravone can promote the recovery of neural function after acute cerebral infarction.
