Abstract

Cognitive impairments are frequent outcome of stroke. Nowadays drug treatment of cognitive impairments is not effective enough. The purpose of the study was to improve treatment of poststroke cognitive impairments by complex use of drug treatment and frequency-modulative magnetolaser therapy. Mini-mental state examination, Luria memory words test, Frontal assessment battery, Shultz tables, Clock drawing test were used to estimate cognitive functions. 40 patients were examined with consequences of ischemic stroke Patients were divided in two groups. The first 20 patients (basic group) were treated with drug and frequency-modulative magnetolaser therapy. The other 20 patients (control group) were prescribed drug treatment. Improvement of memory and executive functions of patients with vertebrobasilar and carotid stroke were revealed after complex treatment. It was found, that in the control group only memory improved in patients with vertebrobasilar stroke. Obtained data proved the expediency of frequency-modulative magnetolaser therapy application in the complex treatment of cognitive impairments in patients with consequences of ischemic stroke.
