To study the efficacy of complex therapy in the correction of cognitive impairment in patients with chronic cerebral ischemia.
One hundred patients with chronic cerebral ischemia were examined. All of them received standard neurometabolic therapy. In the main group, patients were additionally treated with soft techniques of manual therapy. Cognitive status was assessed using the frontal assessment battery, the clock drawing test, MMSE, the Global Deterioration Scale and a sequencing test.
Patients with chronic cerebral ischemia demonstrated a significant impairment of cognitive functions. Patients who received comprehensive (drug and non-drug) treatment showed a more significant improvement in cognitive status than those receiving only neurometabolic therapy.
