Dynamics of neurocognitive indicators against the background of neuroprotective therapy of vertebrobasilar insufficiency with cerebral venous discirculation symptoms by O. V. Kim, Ya. N. Madjidova, F. R. Sharipov

“…In addition, the inclusion of the drug in the therapy regimens for patients with this pathology showed a significant decrease in the frequency of complaints, including specific «venous» complaints, the severity of cephalgic syndrome, as well as asthenic and autonomic disorders, which had a positive effect on the patients’ quality of life. The results obtained make it possible to recommend the inclusion of the drug in the therapy regimens for patients with symptoms of cerebral venous dysfunction.…”
