The combined Chinese and Western medicine stroke unit is a new stroke ward management model that brings together the strengths of Chinese medicine and Western medicine in the treatment of stroke and provides a one-stop medical service organization system dedicated to stroke patients, including medication, neurological function training, language training, psychological rehabilitation, health education and improvement of outcomes. It considers the functional prognosis of patients and the satisfaction of patients and families as important clinical goals, unlike the traditional concept that emphasizes only the recovery of neurological function and improvement of imaging. To date, the stroke unit is internationally recognized as the best treatment for stroke. It is superior to all current treatments, including thrombolysis, anticoagulation, and antiplatelet, and even superior to cerebrovascular interventions. It can significantly reduce the rate of death and disability and improve the ability of patients to live independently.
