compared to the groups, which received basic therapy with early verticalization or basic therapy without verticalization.
The study included 90 patients with hemispheric ischemic stroke.
Patients of the first group (n=30) received cortexin in a dose of 20 mg per day intramuscularly for 10 days, along with basic therapy during early verticalization.
Patients of the second group (n=30) received basic therapy during early verticalization and patients of the third group (n=30) received only basic therapy without verticalization.
All studies were conducted before and 10-14 days after treatment.
