摘要
The present study aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of transcranial ultrasound as an adjuvant therapy in combination with small doses of urokinase (UK) for the treatment of progressive cerebral infarction. Sixty-one eligible patients with progressive cerebral infarction were successively and randomly assigned into one of the following groups; 30 patients to the treatment group (transcranial ultrasound + small doses of UK) and 31 patients to the control group (single small doses of UK). Based on conventional therapy, patients in the treatment group received transcranial ultrasound. The neural function deficit scale and curative effect scores of the two groups were recorded before treatment and on the 7th and 14th days after treatment. No differences in the neural function deficit scale between the two groups was observed before treatment, however, on the 7th and 14th days after treatment, a significant decrease was evident in the treatment group (P<0.01). The overall response rate was 100% in the treatment group and 74.2% in the control group, with a significant difference (P<0.01). Transcranial ultrasound is able to contribute to the thrombolytic effects of UK and prevent the progression of thrombi, subsequently aiding the recovery of neural functions.
