To evaluate the clinical use of Chinese patent medicine in the recovery of ischemic stroke,and analyze the combined use of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)and Western medicine to provide a reference for the use of Chinese patent medicine.Methods:The published clinical studies on the recovery of ischemic stroke by Chinese patent medicine were retrieved from CNKI,WanFang,VIP,Pubmed,and Cochrane Library.The data were extracted according to inclusion and exclusion criteria,from medication frequency,syndrome differentiation and combination.Based on the Apriori algorithm of association rule,this paper analyzed the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.Results:A total of 342 studies were included,including 143 Chinese patent medicines,of which Naoxintong Capsules and Tongxinluo Capsules were high-frequency medications during the recovery of ischemic stroke; qi-deficiency and blood-stasis syndrome are the main TCM syndrome in the recovery period.This syndrome was adaptation for most Chinese patent medicines; the combined use of Western medicines such as antiplatelet drugs,lipid-lowering drugs and Chinese patent medicines such as DengzhanShengmai Capsules had a higher degree of confidence.Conclusion:The clinical application of traditional Chinese medicine combined with Western medicine in the recovery of ischemic stroke is extensive.The combination of Chinese patent medicines such as Tongxinluo Capsules,Naoxintong Capsules,Dengzhan Shengmai Capsules and antiplatelet drugs is a relatively strong combination scheme in the recovery period of ischemic stroke.
