Arms Assigned Interventions
B: Experimental
A combined treatment would be used in the arm.That means Chinese herb formula would be used with the current Modern Medicine therapy for stroke in this arm.
Drug: Chinese herbs formula

The chinese herbs formula includes eight herbs,and they are Radix et Rhizoma Rhei Palmati(Rhubarb,10 grams),Cornu Bubali(Buffalo Horn,30 grams),Radix Paeoniae Bubra(Red Peony Root,15 grams),Cortex Moutan Radicis(Tree Peony Root-bark,10 grams),Radix Rehmanniae(Adhesive Rehmannia Root Tuber,20 grams),Pheretima Aspergillum(Earth-worm,10 grams),Radix Notoginseng(Sanchi,5 grams)and Rhizoma Acori Tarainowii(Tararinow Sweetflag Rhizome,10 grams).

Boiled together. 150ml of the juice,p.o.,twice a day,for 28 days

A: Active Comparator
just the current Modern Medicine therapy for stroke would be available in the arm.
Drug: Mannitol
250 ml Mannitol Injection or Glycerin and Fructose Injection ,once a day, for 3-5 days

Detailed Description:

Blood stasis and blood heat are two pathogens in the theory system of Chinese Medicine, which can cause many diseases independently. But in internal intractable diseases, such as viral hepatitis, stroke, and epidemic hemorrhagic fever, blood stasis and blood heat always accompany with each other. So the hypothesis is raised that blood stasis with heat (YURE) is a compound pathogen and key pathogenesis in internal intractable diseases. This study was aimed to verify the role that the compound pathogen played in hemorrhagic stroke and to observe the progress of the key pathogenesis. A randomized and controlled trial would be conducted in five hospitals, where 300 hospitalized patients with hemorrhagic stroke in the acute phase would receive different intervention with basic modern medicine treatment or Chinese herbs formula combined with the former. The Chinese herbs formula, which was designed under the guidance of the theory system of Chinese Medicine, was supposed to cool blood heat and dissolve blood stasis. Clinical efficacy and safety would be evaluated after the 21-days intervention.
