Self-Titration of Medications Helps Improve Blood Pressure

A recent study conducted in the United Kingdom showed there is a direct relationship between controlling the amount of antihypertensive medication one person is taking and his blood pressure. The study had shown that patients who regularly checked their blood pressure at home and modified the amount of antihypertensive drugs they were taking had a more significant decrease in their blood pressure compared with patients receiving conventional care.

The results of the novel study were reported in the Lancet, by Dr. Richard McManus of Primary Care Clinical Services and of the University of Birmingham. Dr. McManus said that the study, Telemonitoring and Self-Management in the Control of Hypertension (TASMINH2), was done in a primary care setting. He added that telemonitoring was also done as a “safety net.”

Ultrasound Aided Therapy Better Than Drugs Alone

Ultrasound is a sound whose frequency is greater than upper limit of human hearing. The production of ultrasound is used in many different fields, and researchers are now tapping the potential of ultrasound technology in the field of stroke attacks. They have found that drugs combined with ultrasound fared better than taking medicines alone.

A study on the use of ultrasound technology or sonography (an ultrasound-based diagnostic imaging technique) was presented in the New England Journal of Medicine. It looks at using ultrasound in combination with the tPA drugs during an ischemic stroke attack.

The study involved 126 stroke victims. It showed that combining ultrasound technology with tPA showed an improvement in response to an ischemic stroke.

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
