The intracerebral hemorrhagic stroke (ICH) is associated with high mortality and severe disability in survivors, which causing about 42% of the disability-adjusted life years lost and 50% of all stroke patients dead within 1 year. Although early functional training is recommended to facility rehabilitation after the stroke, the benefit and safety are still controversial. ⋯ INPLASY2020110068.

At present, acupoint herbal patching as an adjuvant therapy is currently undergoing clinical trials in different medical centers. However, no relevant systematic review or meta-analysis has been designed to evaluate the effects of acupoint herbal patching on functional constipation.

Randomized Controlled Trial
A randomized study protocol comparing the platelet-rich plasma with hyaluronic acid in the treatment of symptomatic knee osteoarthritis.
In recent years, intra articular injection of platelet rich plasma has attracted increasing attention. The major aim of our current randomized controlled double-blind study was to compare long-term outcomes of intra-articular injection of hyaluronic acid or platelet rich plasma in the treatment of the patients with knee osteoarthritis. ⋯ This should suggest whether biological methods can offer more lasting outcomes than the viscosification.
