This report describes oriental medicine therapy on two practical problems frequently observed in patients with chronic cerebrovascular diseases.Long-standing headache is one of the most common subjective symptom in patients with cerebral stroke. We assessed clinical effectiveness of oriental medicine for this symptom, Cho-to-San 7.5 grams/day in 60 patients (averaged ages of 61.8 year-old) with cerebral stroke selected randomly from the list of our institute. Cho-to-San administration for 8 to 32 weeks (averaged 12 weeks) relieved 78.3% patients from their chronic headache. Out of 60, 7, 29 and 11 patients showed complete, moderate and slight improvement in degree, respectively. It was ineffective in semaining 10 patients.Prominent edema which frequently develops in the hand and fingers following motor paresis in patints with cerebral stroke is one the most cumbersome problem both on a daily life and rehabilitation practice. Oriental Medicine, Sairei-tou 9 grams/day was administrated in 35 patients (averaged ages of 65.7 year-old) with typical edema following cerebral stroke.Out of 35, 34.3, 34.3 and 17.1% patients showed complete, moderate and slight improvement after 2-9 weeks (averaged 4.4 weeks) of oral administration, respectively.In this study, we confirmed practical effectiveness of oriental medicine both on chronic headache and edema in paratic limbs frequently seen in cerebral stroke patients
