Management of patients with post-stroke dementia
Abstract
Dementia occurs in 10-20% of cases and substantially hampers the rehabilitation of patients who have had stroke. Management of patients with post-stroke dementia is based on the prevention of recurrent stroke, cognitive stimulation, and the use of drugs improving cognitive functions. The paper gives the data available in the literature on the results of randomized placebo-controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of central acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and the NMDA receptor antagonist akatinol memantine in vascular dementia, as well as the author’s positive experience with akatinol memantine used in 20 patients.
