suffering from the sequelae of different forms of brain injury have been

weeks. It has been shown that, compared with placebo therapy, pyritinol
produces statistically significant improvement in the clinical and
psychoneurological manifestations. It is concluded that pyritinol is a drug of
therapeutic benefit in the treatment of the sequelae of cerebral trauma.
