Clinical effects of levodopa benserazide combine with dl-3-butylphthalide capsules on limbs function of patients after stroke

Objective To investigate the effects of levodopa benserazide hydrochloride combine with dl-3-butyl phthalide capsule on patient＆#39;s limbs function after stroke. Methods Ninety patients with stroke were randomly divided into rehabilitation group,treatment group and control group,and 30 cases for each group. Patients in rehabilitation group were treated with exercise therapy,in treatment group were given exercise therapy and levodopa Benserazide and Dl-3-butylphthalide capsules,and in control group were given placebo treatment. Adult hemiplegic motor function score（FMA）and motor function assessment scale（MAS）were used to assess the motor function and lower extremity function before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. Results Before treatment,FMA and MAS in rehabilitation group,treatment group and control group were（22. 6 ± 3. 6）, （23. 1 ± 2. 5）and（20. 3 ± 2. 9）,and（1. 6 ± 0. 6）,（2. 1 ± 0. 5）,（1. 7 ± 0. 9）,respectively. There was no significant differences between the two groups（ F = 1. 64,P 〉 0. 05;F = 1. 66,P 〉 0. 05）. After 8 weeks of treatment,FMA and MAS in rehabilitation group and treatment group were（60. 6 ± 3. 5）,（14. 6 ± 1. 1）,and （75. 7 ± 4. 5）,（17. 7 ± 4. 5）,significant improved more than that before treatment（t = 1. 738,1,716,1. 732 respectively;P 〈 0. 05）. Meanwhile,patients in the treatment group improved more than that in rehabilitation group（P 〈 0. 05）,and they were superior to patients in control group（（31. 0 ± 3. 6）,（5. 5 ± 1. 1）;P 〈 0. 05）. Conclusion Benserazide combined with dl-3- butyl phthalide capsule can further improve the limbs function. Key words: Stroke; Exercise therapy; Levodopa benserazide; Dl-3- butyl phthalide capsule
