Fufang Congrong Yizhi Capsules (FCYC) of Cognitive Impairment After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

The mortality and disability rate for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is high, which places a severe burden on both families and society. Robot-assisted neurosurgery is a significant advancement in the development of minimally invasive surgery for ICH. Compared to conventional surgery, the advantages of robotic surgery include precise positioning, a shorter operative time, and greater stability. Cognitive impairment is a common comorbidity in patients with ICH, which significantly affects their daily life. The effectiveness of Fufang Congrong Yizhi Capsules (FCYC) in treating vascular dementia (VaD) and vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is well established and has been documented in guidelines and expert consensus. So the primary objective of this clinical study is to observe the safety and efficacy of Fufang Congrong Yizhi Capsules (FCYC) of cognitive impairment after robot-assisted neurosurgery treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage
