This clinical study was a randomized (1:1), double-blind, single-center, parallel controlled clinical study. The study period was 6 months to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium oligomannate in the prevention of PSCI in patients with ischemic stroke. Patients with acute ischemic stroke were recruited. After signing informed consent, patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive treatment in the trial group (receiving sodium oligomannate) or the control group (receiving placebo capsule). A total of 116 patients were enrolled.And safety assessment and survival follow-up were performed at 4 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks, and efficacy assessment was performed at 12 weeks and 24 weeks.
Post-stroke cognitive impairment (PSCI) is a common complication of stroke, and seriously affect the quality of survival and the survival time in patients with stroke, PSCI is still lack of effective prevention and treatment measures, the study found that gut microbiota are closely associated with stroke and cognitive diseases, sodium oligomannate can improve cognitive function of mild-to-moderate alzheimer's disease (AD) , The Expert Consensus 2021 on the Management of Post-stroke cognitive impairment states that the role of sodium oligomannate in PSCI needs to be investigated in large sample clinical trials. This study intends to explore the efficacy and safety of sodium oligomannate in the prevention of PSCI in patients with acute ischemic stroke and cognitive impairment, so as to provide a potential intervention for the prevention of PSCI.
