AbstractAbstract Using the methods of quantitative EEG analysis and cognitive evoked potentials, we investigated delayed consequences of head trauma (HT) after nootropic therapy with cerebrolysin. The study was performed in 30 12-to 19-year-old adolescents who had had severe HT with brain contusion one to five years prior to the study and manifested asthenic symptoms. During the study, they underwent treatment with 30 daily intramuscular injections of cerebrolysin at a dose of 0.1 ml/kg body weight. A positive effect on the functional state of the brain was found in 77% of patients. It was expressed as the appearance of the occipital α rhythm in the EEGs, an increase in the EEG spectral power, normalization of frequency parameters of the α rhythm, a decrease in the power spectrum of the low-frequency θ and δ EEG activity, and shortening of the P300 peak latency. These changes were associated with an improvement of the general clinical state and the psychometric indices of attention and memory in the patients.
