To assess the clinical efficacy of Tianma-cuzhi Granules (TMC) in treating senile vascular dementia(VaD) of the "sthenia of liver-yang" type.
TMC were given to thirty VaD patients three times a day of 0.5 g/bageach. The treatment course was one month and the patients finished two consecutive courses.
TMC could markedly increase the mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Hamilton depression scale(HDS) marks of VaD patients, and also contribute to improving certain indexes especially in abnormal cases.
TMC have certain effects on senile VaD.
