Stroke

Brief summary

Ischemic stroke has a variety of treatments and currently drug therapy is one of the main treatments.A number of clinical studies have proved that alprostadil (PGE1) has pharmacological effects of significant dilation of blood vessels, inhibition of plate aggregation, anti-atherosclerosis and increased cerebral blood flow.Evaluate the 90-days efficacy by comparing two groups of patients'(one with alprostadil,another with placebo) mRS.

Interventions

Alprostadil injection USP for intravascular infusion contains 500 micrograms Alprostadil, more commonly known as prostaglandin E1. Vasodilation, inhibition of platelet aggregation are among the most notable of these effects. 2ml Alprostadil injection added into 10ml 0.9% saline.

DRUGNormal saline

2ml normal saline injection added into 10ml 0.9% saline.
