| Core Tip |
Combining selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors with the traditional Chinese medicine Free San significantly improves the treatment efficacy for post-stroke depression. The novel combination therapy not only alleviated depressive symptoms more effectively than selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors alone but also normalized hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysfunction, as evidenced by reduced cortisol and corticotropin-releasing hormone levels. This approach has a good safety profile, suggesting that it is a promising integrative treatment strategy for post-stroke depression. |
