Clinical Experiences with NeuroAiD

NeuroAiD originates from Traditional Chinese Medicine. It has been used in clinical practice since over 10 years. A certain number of clinical trials and case reports have been published on famous scientific journals. NeuroAiD’s safety and efficacy are being kept investigated through these persuasive records.

The initial clinical trials in China on 605 patients have showed good tolerability and superiority over another TCM medicine approved for stroke, in improving neurological recovery by 2.4 times. This has given an idea to start another clinical trial at bigger scale, international and multi-centre, double-blind, placebo-controlled, and randomized Phase II Pilot study to investigate NeuroAiD’s efficacy in acute phase of stroke recovery Chimes. The study is still on-going with more than 600 randomized patients. Continue reading
