Xingnaojing is widely used in China, but there is lack of high-quality evidence of its efficacy for acute ischemic stroke currently. The primary hypothesis of this trial is that Xingnaojing will increase the proportion of people alive and independent at three months. Xingnaojing, combined with guidelines-based standard care, will be compared to standard care alone in patients with acute ischemic stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset. All patients will have a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) entry score of 5-20. Patients in each group will be treated according to the guidelines-based standard care, including intravenous thrombolysis if appropriate. The primary outcome will be determined at 3 months.
