[A clinical study of recovery of memories in 46 cases of cerebrovascular diseases].

The authors reported the application of a clinical memory scale to 46 patients with cerebrovascular diseases after administration of nimodipine or placebo by using the double-blind method of study and making careful clinical observation, evaluation and statistical treatment. It is shown that nimodipine can increase the memory quotient (MQ) of patients with cerebrovascular diseases (P less than 0.01). The relation between the patients age and cultural background, the site and nature of the lesion and the degree of memory recovery was discussed.
