Early path nursing improves neurological function recovery in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage: Protocol for a randomized controlled trial

BACKGROUND: To explore the influence of the early path nursing on life quality and the neurological function recovery in the intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) patients. METHODS: The experiment was implemented from January 2018 to October 2020 at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The experiment was granted through the Research Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University (2017033). In this experiment, the criteria for inclusion includes: hemorrhagic stroke diagnosed via the MRI or head CT; over 18 years of age; patients with motor dysfunction; The Glasgow Coma Scale > 12. The patients with these symptoms will be excluded: severe cognitive impairment; ischemic stroke; onset time > 3 days; and severe complications. The scale used for the evaluation the neurological function is the American Stroke Scale. This scale contains a total of eleven items, that is, the movements of upper and lower limb, the consciousness level, gaze, visual field, etc. Other outcomes include patient satisfaction and complications. RESULTS: Evaluation the neurological function and quality of life will be shown in Table 1. CONCLUSION: The early path nursing can promote the neurological function recovery in the ICH patients.
