Ischemic stroke is a principal disease lead to death or leave behind the physical and psychological sequel. Stroke patients are increasing every year world widely. In Korea, large portion of stroke patients prefer to rely on the therapy of Korean medicine. Several transcriptions including Woohwangchungsim Won and Sohaphwang Won have been used to treat the acute stroke patients. However, it is currently difficult to have chances to treat patients. It might be partially come from the lack of scientific or statistical analysis of data of the cases. Thus, it is necessary to demonstrate the pharmacological activities on acute stage of stroke, to accumulate the case data and to analyze via basic and clinical studies. We initiated the current review with our opinions, the prescriptions used in acute stroke might be closely related to or useful in treatment of brain edema followed by the elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP), Because the symptoms in ICP elevation in acute stroke may be correlated to the indications of the prescriptions. Vasogenic edema, a major deleterious type of brain edema occurs in acute phase of stroke and persists for several days. It is known to be caused by the factors related to Blood brain barrier damage which are extensively studied. The purpose of the current study was to suggest several targets to the studies using prescriptions for acute stroke in traditional Korean Medicine.
