Current clinical studies of Compound Cistanche Cognitive-Enhancement Capsules have been included in multiple projects under the National Natural Science Foundation of China, provincial and ministerial research funds, and 12 high-level evidence-based studies. The project also participates in the development of national stroke centers, national cognitive centers, national neurological prevention and control centers, and national mental health centers. Among them, “A Clinical Study on the Efficacy of Compound Cistanche Cognitive-Enhancement Capsules in Treating Post-operative Cognitive Impairment after Robot-Assisted Minimally Invasive Intracerebral Hemorrhage Surgery” was successfully selected for the Program for Enhancing Technological Capabilities of TCM Specialty Departments in Primary-Level Institutions.
