[Effect of tanakan on psychophysiological status of patients with asthenic disorders].
A clinical pharmacological 56-day trial was devoted to the effect of tanakan on the psychophysiological state of 26 patients with psychogenic and post-traumatic asthenic disorders. The drug was found to produce a positive effect on the psychophysiological state, with most pronounced improvement in the attention characteristics, short-term visual memory, operational component, and integral operator performance index. The results confirmed the positive action of tanakan on the cognitive and mnestic functions, which is analogous to the effect of nootropes. The antiasthenic, anxiolytic, antiamnesic, and vegetotropic components in the pharmacological spectrum of tanakan correlate with the positive psychophysiological effects. It is shown that positive changes in the psychophysiological state play an important role in the complex therapeutic action of tanakan in the treatment of asthenic disorders.
