Abstract

We examined 60 patients with constitutional venous insufficiency, suffering from hypertensive encephalopathy of I and II stages, mean age 43,4± 6,3 years. Patients of the main group (n=30) received Cytoflavin (2 tablets twice a day) and standard therapy (acetylsalicylic acid and antihypertensive drugs). Thirty patients of the parallel group received only standard therapy. At the 25th day of the study, there were the decrease in the number of complaints, including specific "venous complaints", the reduction of cephalalgia syndrome, asthenic and autonomic disorders; the improvement of quality of life and better cerebral hemodynamics on all structural and functional levels.
