Oh, brace yourselves for the groundbreaking revelation from the world of “let’s mix and match meds and see what happens”! In this thrilling episode, we have 801 brave souls with chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI) and cognitive impairment (CI), who, in the name of science, have subjected themselves to the whims of researchers. These intrepid participants, aged 30 to a sprightly 80, were split into groups to play guinea pigs for Cortexin and Neuromexol—because, why not?
The researchers, armed with their trusty Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and an hour-long drawing test (because nothing says “scientific” like doodling for an hour), set out to measure the depths of the patients’ cognitive despair. And let’s not forget the Brief Geriatric Depression Scale, because nothing cheers up the elderly like being reminded of their geriatric status while being depressed.
Lo and behold, after 30 days of this cocktail therapy, signs of CI decreased—cue the fanfare—statistically significant, they say! A positive correlation was found between the MMSE and the doodle—I mean, TFC test scores, both before and after treatment. And, surprise, surprise, the patients felt less gloomy according to the MGDS scale. Who would have thought that giving people attention and new drugs could make them feel better?
But wait, there’s more! The levels of NSE, a biomarker of “Oops, your brain cells are dying,” halved in the main group. Antibodies to NR2 went down in both groups, and VEGFA, the molecule that’s like a VIP pass for blood vessels, decreased only in the main group. Because, clearly, the comparison group didn’t wish hard enough.
In conclusion, the researchers recommend a complex prescription of Cortexin and Neuromexol for CCI and CI, because their study says it’s effective and safe. So, let’s all give a slow clap for science, and remember, if you can’t solve a problem, just throw more drugs at it until something sticks—or at least until you can publish your results.
