All patients were treated by basic treatment of stroke, including Mascular Amino Acids Peptides and Nucleosides for Injection, safflower yellow injection and aspirin enteric-coated tablets. The changes of blood pressure, blood glucose and blood lipid were monitored in two groups. Patients in two groups also received symptomatic treatment, and to control risk factors. On this basis treatment, patients in control group were treated by oral pyridostigmine bromide tablets, took 60 mg 30 min after meal, 3 times daily.

According to modern therapeutic evaluation, the total effective rate in treatment group(96.67%) was superior to that in control group(80.00%),(P<0.05). The bladder function integral was decreased in two groups, and there were statistical difference on bladder function integral between before and after treatment in two groups(P<0.05).
