[Use of citicoline in high dosages in acute cerebrovascular disease]
Minerva Medica
|March 17, 1986
Insights
Large doses of citicoline effectively treated acute cerebrovascular disturbances in 30 patients. This treatment resolved both mental impairments and focal neurological deficits.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Pharmacology
Context:
- Acute cerebrovascular disturbances represent a significant cause of morbidity and mortality.
- Neurological deficits and mental disturbances are common sequelae of cerebrovascular events.
Purpose:
- To evaluate the efficacy of high-dose citicoline in patients with acute cerebrovascular disturbances.
- To assess the impact of citicoline on both cognitive and motor functions following a stroke.
Summary:
- A study involving 30 patients with acute cerebrovascular disturbances investigated the therapeutic effects of high-dose citicoline (1 g).
- The administration of citicoline demonstrated significant effectiveness in alleviating mental disturbances.
- Furthermore, the treatment successfully resolved focal neurological deficits associated with the cerebrovascular event.
Impact:
- Citicoline shows promise as a therapeutic agent for managing acute cerebrovascular conditions.
- This research suggests a potential role for citicoline in improving recovery outcomes for stroke patients.
Abstract:
The use of large doses (1 g) of citicoline was experimented in 30 patients with acute cerebrovascular disturbances. The treatment proved effective in resolving both mental disturbances and the focal condition.
