The common clinical symptoms consist of blood stasis pattern with endogenous liver wind, turbid phlegm blocking collaterals and heat-toxic stagnation. In terms of the characteristics of TCM pathogenesis and the evolution law of TCM syndromes, we have formulated the blood-activating and stasis-removing therapy in order to realize the clinical transformation of TCM research achievements for intracerebral hemorrhage.
