To analyze the effects of early limb rehabilitation training combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation on patients with hemiplegia after cerebral infarction (Cerebral Infarction, CI).

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 128 patients with hemiplegia after CI from October 2022 to October 2024. Among them, 64 patients received conventional treatment and rehabilitation training as the control group, while another 64 patients underwent early limb rehabilitation training combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation as the study group. The cerebral circulation hemodynamics indicators of both groups were analyzed, and assessments were performed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Fugl-Meyer Assessment (FMA), Functional Composite Assessment (FCA), and Berg Balance Scale (BBS).

Before treatment, there were no statistically differences in cerebral circulation hemodynamics indicators between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the study group higher minimum blood flow velocity and minimum blood flow volume compared to the control group(P < 0.01), along with significantly higher critical pressure and cerebrovascular peripheral resistance (P <0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in MoCA and MMSE scores between two groups (P >0.05). After treatment, the study group showed higher MoCA and MMSE scores (P <0.05, P < 0.01). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in limb motor function between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the study group demonstrated higher upper and lower limb motor function scores (P <0.01). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in motor balance function between two groups (P > 0.05). After treatment, the study group higher FCA and BBS scores (P < 0.01).

Early limb rehabilitation training combined with traditional Chinese medicine fumigation yields favorable outcomes for patients with hemiplegia after CI, not only improving cognitive function and mental state but also enhancing limb motor function and motor performance, while also contributing to the stabilization of cerebral circulation hemodynamics indicators.
