Cerebral infarction is quite a common disease among elderly people. Although vital prognosis has been developed, quality of life (QOL) of the patients has not always been satisfied. In addition to this point of view, usually elderly people have difficulty in adapting to the conditions in the intensive care unit because of susceptibility to several kinds of complications such as dementia. For this reason, a simple and effective approach for elderly people has been desired. On the other hand, Kampo therapy, which is a system composed of a simple way of diagnosis and treatment has been reported to be useful for cerebral infarction. But unfortunately, most of the cases were diagnosed only by symptoms. In the present study, 14 patients with acute cerebral infarction diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) were treated with Kampo therapy combined with a low dose of argatroban. Then, their clinical prognoses were compared with that of the results of Japan Standard Stroke Registry Study (JSSRS). Better recovery of Japan Stroke Scale (JSS) was observed. No adverse reaction was observed in the patients. Application of Kampo therapy to acute cerebral infarction may be useful especially for elderly people.
