Features Of Cognitive Impairment In Stroke Patients And Their Adequate Treatment

Abstract

Summary: Among the many complications of stroke, one of the most frequent, but little studied, is cognitive impairment. In order to study the prevalence and severity of cognitive impairment in post-stroke patients, 80 stroke patients were examined according to a special scheme. The results showed that 82.5% of these patients had neuropsychological signs of cognitive impairment, and in 65% of them the phenomena were of mild and moderate severity of cognitive impairment, especially the function of attention. The authors come to the conclusion that in the treatment of stroke against the background of basic therapy, it is necessary to carry out adequate therapy.
