Abstract

Objective: The objective is to assess immediate and delayed effects of three-months course therapy with a drug 'Cereton' (Choline alfoscerate) in patients with anamnestic syndrome of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Methods: 50 patients with MCI got a three-month course therapy with Cereton (Choline alfoscerate), dosage 1200 mg/day. 15 patients during a year repeated similar course of therapy. Neuropsychological tests were used to evaluate immediate and delayed effects. Results: Statistically significant improvement is defined according to the majority of psychometric parameters as a result of single course. Though in 7-9 months after the end of therapy the final results of majority of tests worsened, the level of patients' cognitive functioning remained at higher level as compared to the beginning of the therapy. Getting the refresher course of treatment patients with MCI reached the same level of cognitive functioning which was after the first course of therapy. Conclusions: With course treatment with Cereton, a significant therapeutic effect was obtained in relation to the cognitive functioning of patients with MCI. The results indicate the promise of further studies of this drug in the framework of prospective therapeutic programs to determine its therapeutic potential in the implementation of preventive therapeutic strategies in individuals with a high risk of Alzheimer>s disease.
