Arachidonic acid level is related to early motor recovery following intracerebral hemorrhage with severe motor paralysis

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is reportedly associated with a high burden in terms of disability-adjusted life-years.[1] Hence, specific therapeutic options, especially medical treatments, to improve the prognosis of ICH are desperately needed. Currently, no established medical therapeutic strategy for acute ICH analogous to reperfusion therapy for acute ischemic stroke has yet been established.[2] The only robust medical treatment for improving the prognosis of ICH is control of blood pressure soon after ICH onset.
