[The computerized electroencephalogram in evaluating the action of vasoactive and eumetabolic drugs in chronic...

In this work the authors estimated the effect, on cortical bioelectric activity, of two groups of drugs commonly used in the so-called chronic vascular cerebropathies. Through the computerized analysis of EEG the authors estimated vasoactive drugs (papaverine hydrochloride and xanthinol-nicotinate) and eumetabolic drugs (cytidin, uridin, cytidin + 1-glutamine association) in two groups of subjects (healthy volunteers and patients suffering from stabilized conditions of acute cerebrovascular insufficiency). As to vasoactive drugs, a different action of papaverine hydrochloride as compared to xanthinol-nicotinate was pointed out. Eumetabolic drugs showed an action of electroencephalographic activation statistically significant only if administered associated between them and with glutamine.
