title: [The neuroprotective therapy of outpatient treatment of chronic cerebral ischemia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To perform a differential analysis of the efficacy of combination therapy by the drugs with different modalities (mexidol, aescusan, halidorum) in outpatients with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI), stages I- III.
  
  
  METHODS
  A study included 50 patients with CCI of atherosclerotic, hypertensive and mixed genesis (stage I - 20 patients, stage II - 20, stage III - 10 patients). In addition to somatic therapy, patients received three courses of mexidol, halidorum and aescusan combination therapy during 6 weeks with a 3 month interval between the courses. The changes in subjective complaints and objective clinical manifestations were evaluated after each course.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The therapeutic efficacy after durable complex therapy by repeated courses of antioxidants is supported by the results of clinical and neurological examinations. Mexidol in the combination with aescusan and halidorum contributed to the improvement of cognitive, adaptive, motor functions of the patients with CCI, stages I and II. To increase treatment efficacy in patients with CCI, stage III, we recommend to use the drugs that improve cognitive functions of the patients.
