1. Analgesic effect: Gastrodia elata injection has obvious analgesic effect on trigeminal neuralgia, angioneurotic headache, cerebrovascular headache and toxic polyneuritis. In recent years, clinical trials on more than 1000 patients in some medical units show that the effective rate is 90%.
2. Sedative effect: Some medical units used synthetic gastrodin to treat neurasthenia and neurasthenia syndrome, and the effective rates were 89.44% and 86.87% respectively. It can also inhibit the central excitement caused by caffeine and enhance the sleep time effect of pentobarbital sodium.

4. Comparative study on the quality of cultivated and wild gastrodia elata.
For a long time, there have been different views on the quality (pharmacological action) of cultivated and wild gastrodia elata. Therefore, Zhuang Yi of Nanjing College of Traditional Chinese Medicine made a comparative experimental study (published in the ninth volume of the fifth issue of China Edible Fungi). The test results show that (excerpt):
1, pharmacological action
Comparison of cerebral blood flow in (1) rabbits. When 0.24 g/kg was given to the ear vein, the amplitude of the rabbit's rheoencephalogram changed the same, which caused the amplitude to decrease, suggesting that it had the effect of contracting blood vessels and reducing blood flow. The amplitude of cultivated gastrodia elata decreased more obviously, and its ratio almost doubled.
(2) The intraperitoneal injection of 10g/kg in mice has obvious synergistic effect with pentobarbital sodium, but there is no obvious difference between the two kinds of gastrodia elata.
(3) Sodium pentobarbital affects the sleep of mice, and the dosage of 5 g/kg can prolong the sleep time, with no significant difference.
(4) Two kinds of gastrodia elata injection, administered at 65438±0g/kg/kg, significantly reduced the internal carotid artery resistance and blood pressure in dogs, and there was no significant difference between them.
(5) Effect on mesenteric microcirculation in rats: 1g/kg can increase the diameter of mesenteric arterioles and blood flow, and there is no significant difference between the two gastrodia elata.
The above proves that the pharmacological effects of the two kinds of gastrodia elata are the same, and the artificially cultivated gastrodia elata is stronger in the rabbit cerebral blood flow test.
2. Clinical efficacy
(1) materials: gastrodia elata injection; Dosage: 0.1.2g/2ml; Time: 30 days is a course of treatment.
(2) Methods and results:
The essence of quality appraisal lies in clinical effect. Clinical verification of 433 cases in four hospitals shows that cultivated Gastrodia elata has a good curative effect on vertigo syndrome, vascular headache, apoplexy sequelae, neurasthenia and other diseases, and the total effective rate is 83.3%-74.5%, among which vertigo syndrome has the highest curative effect. All experiments prove that cultivated gastrodia elata is no less than wild gastrodia elata.
Through a series of experiments, cultivated gastrodia elata seems to be superior in the content of intracellular polysaccharide particles and gastrodin and reducing the amplitude of cerebral blood flow in rabbits, while the drying rate and alcohol extract content of wild gastrodia elata are slightly higher.
