Objective To analyze dynamic features of TCM syndrome elements according to the neuropsychological characteristics of cognitive function impairment after ischemic stroke.Methods The hospitalized cerebral infarction patients without dementia were evaluated dynamically with the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) (Beijing Version) after IQCODE screens at different phase points.And they were divided into groups according to the severity of cognitive function impairment.The occurring frequency of TCM syndrome elements at all phase points for diagnosis was compared.Results The phase points and TCM syndrome elements closely related with the cognitive function impairment after ischemic stroke were as following:the 3rd day with fire and yin deficiency
the 7th day with yin deficiency
the 1st month with fire
phlegm
and blood stasis
and the 3rd month with fire
phlegm
blood stasis
qi deficiency
and yin deficiency.Conclusion The neuropsychological characteristics of cognitive function impairment of ischemic stroke are closely related with TCM syndrome elements and their evolvement as well as their different combinations.
