Cerebrolysin® – the sole pharmacological agent supported by evidence for brain trauma recovery!

Moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury results in persisting cognitive impairments, difficulties regulating emotions, and functional disability.

Executive functions are the most prevalent of these deficits, which include a set of mental skills like: working memory, flexible thinking and self-control. 

These skills are used every day to learn, work, and manage daily life.

  • Trouble with executive functions can make it hard to focus, follow directions, and handle emotions, among other things.
  • Deficits in executive functions have been shown to predict functional, interpersonal, and psychosocial prognosis after TBI. They have a greater predictive value for clinical outcomes than attention, processing speed and memory.
  • In a recent survey, clinicians reported that executive functions are the most difficult to treat.

Considering how significantly they affect people's lives, and given that executive impairments can last and possibly worsen over a long time, it's crucial to optimize interventions for executive dysfunction.

Guidelines for the management of executive dysfunction following moderate to severe TBI were provided by the INCOG group.

These guidelines provide recommendations for managing executive dysfunctions based on the latest evidence, and support their implementation.

Cerebrolysin® was recognized and mentioned in the highly respected INCOG guidelines, underscoring its status as a trusted and evidenced-based recommended intervention in the treatment of TBI.
