Objective To observe the effects of DENG Tietao’s footbath recipe on cognitive function

nerve defect degree

motor function

blood lipid metabolism and sleep quality of stable coronary artery disease（ SCAD） combined with stroke patients and adverse reactions. Methods Totally 108 patients with SCAD complicated with stroke were randomly divided into treatment group and control group

with 54 patients in each group. The control group was treated with basic treatment plus warm water footbath. The treatment group was treated with basic treatment plus DENG Tietao’s foot bath

once a day

for a total of 4 weeks. Before and after treatment

Concise Mental State Scale（ MMSE）

Neurological Function Deficiency（ NIHSS） Score

Motor Function Rating Scale（ FMA）

and Sleep Quality Index（ PSQI） scores were used to measure blood lipid levels [including total cholesterol（ TC）)

triglycerides（ TG）

high-density lipoprotein cholesterol（ HDL-C）

low-density lipoprotein cholesterol（ LDL-C） ]

and patients with cognitive function evaluation. Results The total effective rate of cognitive function in the treatment group（ 90. 6%） was higher than that in the control group（ 76. 0%）（ P < 0. 05）. After treatment

the MMSE scores and the FMA scores of the two groups were significantly higher than before treatment

but the NIHSS scores of both groups were significantly lower than before treatment（ P < 0. 05）. After treatment

the MMSE scores of the treatment group were significantly higher than those of the control group

while the NIHSS scores were significantly lower than the control group（ P < 0. 05）. After treatment

both TG and TC were significantly lower than before treatment（ P < 0. 05）

and TC in the treatment group was significantly lower than that in the control group（ P < 0. 05）. In addition to the daytime function of the control group

the PSQI factors and total scores after treatment were significantly lower than before treatment（ P < 0. 05）

and the sleep time and sleep quality scores of the treatment group decreased more significantly than the control group（ P < 0. 05）. Conclusion DENG Tietao’s bathfoot can effectively improve the cognitive function of patients with SCHD complicated with stroke

reduce nervous system dysfunction

improve motor function

improve blood lipids and sleep quality

without adverse reactions.
