Objective To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of Wufu Xinnaoqing Soft Capsule(capsule for cardiovascular and cerebral vascular disease)for Alzheimer’s disease(AD)of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome.Methods Eighty AD patients of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome were randomized into control group of 39cases and treatment group of 41cases.The Aricept tablet was given to both groups 5to 10mg per time
once daily.Wufu Xinnaoqing soft capsule was added to the treatment group with 0.8g per time
three times daily.The treatment lasted for 6months.The clinical effect was observed through Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE)
scores of Chinese medical symptoms and electroencephalogram(EEG)before and after the treatment.The adverse action was observed as well.Results After the treatment
the scores of MMSE were significantly increased
while the scores of ADAS-Cog
ADL and Chinese medical symptoms decreased in both groups(P<0.05or P<0.01)
especially in the treatment group(P<0.01).After the treatment
the EEG wave frequency ofαandθwas significantly increased and the wave amplitude was increased as well in both groups(P<0.05or P<0.01)
while the amplitude ofθ decreased(P<0.01).The change ofαfrequency
αamplitude andθamplitude in the treatment group was superior to those of the control group(P<0.05or P<0.01).There was no significant difference in blood routine
urine routine
stool routine
liver function
renal function and cardiogram after the treatment in both groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Wufu Xinnaoqing soft capsule is effective for Alzheimer’s disease(AD)of qi stagnation and blood stasis syndrome with few side effects.
