A fast way in treating stroke
According to Israli research workers,using minocycline within one day after stroke can reduce the functional handicap degree of patients.It has passed randomized double-blind test.
In accordance with the present common treatment,it is effective that stroke patients should seek for treatment
within three hours after stroke.The requirement of time is short,but lots of patients can not arrive in time and delay treatment.
The newest research of Israli researchers prove that comparing 152 patients taking placebo with minacycline for 5 days.In the following three months,researchers have made a tracking survey.
U.S. National Institutes of Health evaluated the result of this stroke trial.The statistics prove that the recovery degree of patients using new treatment is four times higher than the other group.The evaluation index includes vision,action ability,speech ability and facial nerve paralysis.The score of new treatment patients is 1.6,and it demonstrates that there is no disability.In comparison,the score of placebo taken patients is 6.5,and it belongs to the severest condition among mild disability.
Researchers pointed out that minocycline taken patients have received obvious improvement within 7 days after stroke.
According to present research,minocycline does not have side-effect.In addition,this medicine can diminish inflammation,and can protect brain cell.In animal trial,they made a test towards Parkinson,and the results prove minocycline can protect nerves.
Now,researchers are making further research,and choose appropriate dosage,at the same time,observe whether intravenous injection is more effective.
