Abstract:
Stroke is characterized by high morbidity， a high disability rate， a high mortality rate， a high recurrence rate， and a high economic burden. Post-stroke spasticity （PSS） is one of the major complications of stroke and the main cause of motor dysfunction in patients， seriously increasing the social and economic burden and affecting the quality of life of patients. Because the occurrence and development of PSS are insidious， it is of great clinical significance to seize the window of early prevention and treatment of the disease and the early identification and treatment of high-risk patients， which is helpful to improve the motor function and the ability of daily living， and reduce complications. There are many treatment methods for PSS， while the level of evidence and the indications for clinical application are not clear， and the treatment measures of different levels of medical institutions are not standardized. At present， there is no systematic review of diagnosis and treatment guidelines at home and abroad. In order to standardize the clinical diagnosis and treatment practice and provide scientific and specific guidance for medical institutions at all levels， it is particularly necessary to formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the clinical diagnosis and treatment of PSS. By comprehensive evaluation of experts' clinical experience and evidence-based medicine evidence， the expert consensus writing group developed this consensus after full discussion through questionnaire surveys， expert interviews， consensus meeting， consensus drafting， society review and other procedures. Traditional Chinese medicine （TCM） treatment has unique advantages， and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment can complement each other， optimize the diagnosis and treatment plan， and improve the clinical effect. On the basis of the clinical practice for patients with PSS， this document aims to scientifically manage the PSS patient population， improve the overall clinical efficacy， reduce medical costs and patients’ burden， and provide an expert consensus on clinical diagnosis and treatment of PSS with integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine for TCM， Western medicine， and integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine physicians.
