To compare the efficacy of Cellex and Cortexin in patients in the early recovery period of ischemic stroke (ERPIS) receiving basic therapy (BT).
Forty patients were randomized into the cellex group (n=20) and the cortexin group 2 (n=20).
Cellex was administered in a dose of 0.1 mg daily SC for 10 days and cortexin in a dose of 10 mg per 2 ml of 0.9% NaCl solution IM daily for 10 days.
