简要总结
Gastrodia and Uncaria Recipe is a well-known effective prescription in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to treat hypertension of liver yang hyperactivity type, which manifests symptom of headache or dizziness. However, it lacks consolidated evidence by multi-center randomized controlled trials. The hypothesis of this study is that Gastrodia and Uncaria granule may have significant anti-hypertensive effect on patients with stage-one hypertension and liver-yang hyperactivity syndrome than placebo.
This study is a randomized, controlled, multi-center, double-blind clinical trial. This study aims to recruit 500 hypertension patients who 1) are untreated or taking anti-hypertensive medicine for at least two weeks and 2) have an office systolic blood pressure of 140-159 mmHg, an office diastolic blood pressure of <100 mmHg, and a 24-hour ambulatory mean systolic blood pressure of >=130 mmHg. The patients will be stratified according to center, sex, and the TCM type of liver yang hyperactivity/ liver yang non-hyperactivity, and are then randomly assigned to the treatment of Gastrodia and Uncaria granules or placebo for 2 months. The blood pressure lowering effect is evaluated by 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (primary outcome) / diastolic blood pressure, as well as by home and office blood pressures.
