[Buflomedil and nicergoline in the targeted treatment of acute cerebral ischemia. Randomized comparative double blind...

Acute cerebral ischaemia may take considerable advantages of an adequate intensive therapy associated with a specific treatment of cerebral oedemas, especially in terms of mortality-rate reduction. Moreover, target treatment of acute cerebral ischaemia may produce excellent results in severe cases selected by means of EEG-chronospectrography. Double-blind, randomized comparison between nicergolin and buflomedil especialls showed that the latter reduces mortality three times as much as nicergolin, and leads to a 200% increment in the complete recovery of the "functio laesa", limited to those cases, which showed an appreciable improvement following EEG-chronospectrographical survey.
