Abstract
Sixty patients whose head injuries had occurred 2-6 months previously were examined in a double-blind trial to demonstrate the effect of piracetam ( UCB-6215) upon late symptoms. A significantly better result of treatment of vertigo was established in the piracetam group compared to the placebo group. The disappearance of symptoms of vertigo could also be objectively established by diminished spontaneous and positional nystagmus as well as diminished pendel deviations with eyes closed. No significant change during the period of treatment could be established with respect to the caloric test.
