Summary

It is known that the acute period of stroke occurs is accompanied by oxidative stress, when intense generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) have a toxic effect, which causes oxidative degradation of proteins, lipids, nucleic acids. Antioxidants may have a positive effect on the processes of reparation, remodeling and neuroplasticity, thus improving the effectiveness of post-stroke rehabilitation. The adjunctive use of drug therapy that improves neuroplasticity may promote accelerated motor learning, which underlies the effects of exercise therapy and physical therapy, speech therapy, and sessions with a psychologist or occupational therapist. CYTOFLAVIN® is a combination of succinic acid, riboflavin, nicotinamide and inosine (riboxin) which has antihypoxic and antioxidant effects. The study hypothetizes that this neurometabolic drug will facilitate learning in stroke survivors and help to acquire new cognitive or motor skills necessary for daily living. The study will be conducted in two parallel groups of stroke survivors: the experimental group will be treated with Cytoflavin along with ohysical rehabilitation, the control group will receive standard rehabilitation course.
