Brief Summary

The CASES-TCM study is a prospective, multicenter, observational study, which will enroll 20,000 patients with acute stroke (ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage) within 7 days of symptom onset. This study attempts to depict major clinical characteristics of acute stroke in patients with Chinese medicine treatment and to explore any difference compared with other non-Chinese medicine use cohorts and the effectiveness and safety of Chinese medicine.
