Objective: Mostly older patients suffer from cerebral ischemic stroke (CIS). To decreasing inability in patient which occurs due to CIS commonly used statins. The objective of our research work to study the effect of statins on the cerebral ischemic stroke patients. Methodology: The patients of CIS were admitted in Allied Hospital Faisalabad confirmed by the clinical and Para clinical findings during 2018 were enrolled. Before the CIS all participant is using statins up to three months, recovered patient did not use it after recovery. Modified Rankin Scale (MRS) measured method was used for Motor activity. During hospital stay MRS was compared at admission & during discharge time. If the result of motor was same during both condition than it to be consider poor effect. Results: 230 CIS participants (one thirty women) the average age of all patients was seventy-one years. Those patients who MRS score was less than four was substantially higher in statin group than controls between the duration of admission & during discharge. (All P values is grater 0.001) The total of participants with poor effect was substantially lower in statin group than controls. (P value is grater 0.001) The outcome was uniform when the statin and control patients were adjusted for hypercholesterolemia. Conclusion: that patient who taking statins in the initial stage of CIS show better result as compared to those patient who had never taken its. It seems sensible to advised statin to decrease motor inability and minimized the risk of CIS in patients.
