Abstract:
Chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) is a common cerebrovascular syndrome associated with a high risk of worsening cognitive, behavioral, and motor impairments, as well as patient dependence. Early treatment can slow the progression of the disease and improve its outcome. This review analyzes the results of clinical trials evaluating the efficacy of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate (Mexidol) in patients with CCI. The drug's effectiveness in relieving cognitive, affective, and motor impairments is demonstrated. Evidence of good tolerability of ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate is also presented. Keywords: chronic cerebral ischemia, cognitive impairment, affective disorders, ethylmethylhydroxypyridine succinate, Mexidol, treatment.
