Background:

Memory disorders significantly impact quality of life in aging populations.
Current therapeutic options for memory impairment have limitations.
Cyclandelate is a vasodilator with potential cognitive-enhancing properties.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of cyclandelate in improving memory in male patients with memory disorders.
To assess the effects of cyclandelate on different types of memory (declarative and procedural).

Main Methods:

An uncontrolled clinical trial involving 20 male patients (aged 49-68) with memory disorders.
Treatment duration of 6 weeks with daily dosages of cyclandelate ranging from 1200 to 1600 mg.
Assessment of memory improvement using psychiatric, psychometric, and psychophysiological measurements.

Main Results:

Cyclandelate demonstrated effectiveness in improving overall memory function.
Improvements were observed in declarative memory, specifically visual reproduction and orientation (Wechsler Memory Scale).
Enhancements in procedural memory were indicated by improved auditory reaction time and critical flicker fusion frequency.

Conclusions:

Cyclandelate shows therapeutic promise for memory disorders of diverse etiologies.
The drug selectively improves specific aspects of cognitive function related to memory.
Further research is warranted to establish the role of cyclandelate in managing memory impairments.
