[Use of cerebrolysin in the treatment of ischemic stroke]

Comparative analysis was performed of results of the treatment of patients with ischemic stroke, including 140 ones treated by means of hemodilution method (control group) and 40 patients treated with cerebrolysin (test group). Barolin's scale of the neurorehabilitation was used for the analysis of the results. Statistically significant results of rehabilitation were better in the test group. Improvement of the parameters characterizing social contacts, working activity and behaviour was more pronounced than an improvement of motor functions. Cerebrolysin had accelerating effect on restoration of damaged functions, by creating more stable basis for rehabilitation.
