Abstract: Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of cerebrolysin in patients with acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods A randomized,open-label,controlled trial ofcerebrolysin in the treatment of ACI within 48 h of onset was performed; these 108 patients were randomly divided into treatment group(n=64)and control group(n=44); the control group was only given routine therapy and the treatment group was allocated 30 mg cerebrolysin for 14 d.Therapeutic effect was evaluated by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale(NIHSS)and the Bathal index(BI).The liver and renal function,levels of blood and urinary routine,and electrocardiogram(ECG)were detected.Results As compared with those in the control group,significant difference on scores of NIHSS and BI was noted in the treatment group the treatment group(P＜0.05).Conclusion Cerebrolysin is efficacious in the treatment of AIC due to the improvement of neurological deficits of the patients.
