Description
Summary:Objectives. To assess and study the effects of Cytoflavin, which is used in the complex therapy of elderly patients with alcoholism, on the dynamics of cognitive functions. Materials and methods. A prospective, randomized, parallel, cohort study was performed in 74 patients aged over 60 years with alcoholism. Results and conclusions. A statistically significant ( p < 0.05) improvement in the dynamics of clinical-neurological status of the patients was obtained on the background of optimized and combined treatment including Cytoflavin, apparent as faster and more marked improvements in neuropsychological test measures than in the reference group (not treated with Cytoflavin).
