Abstract:
Objective:To explore the therapeutic effect and mechanism of nicergoline on the severe traumatic brain injury. Methods:52 TBI patients were divided into the routine treatment group and nicergoline treatment group. Before and after rehabilitation treatment the SPECT and cognitive function were assessed. Results:The lesions were both decreased in nicergoline group and routine group in SPECT scanning, but there was no difference in statistics. The value of cognitive function of the nicergoline treatment group, especially function-oriented and memory, was higher than that of the routine treatment group(P<0.05).Conclusions:The nicergoline can improve cognitive function of the severe traumatic brain injury.
