The use of nimodipine (Nimotop-Bayer) in patients with chronic ischemic cerebral vasculopathies. Twenty-eight case reports.
Nimodipine therapy (30 mg x 3/die) was commenced in twenty-eight patients affected by chronic ischemic cerebral vasculopathies and continued for the 90 days in order to evaluate drug efficacy. Clinical controls were carried out 4, 8 and 12 weeks after the start of therapy using Doppler, ultrasound and neurological tests (the letter based on the SCAG neurological scale).
