Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Vascular cognitive impairment no dementia (VCIND) is very common among the aged and tends to progress to dementia, but there have been no proper large-scale intervention trials dedicated to it. VCIND caused by subcortical ischemic small vessel disease (hereinafter, subcortical VCIND) represents a relatively homogeneous disease process and is a suitable target for therapeutic trials investigating VCIND. Preclinical trials showed that Butylphthalide Soft Capsules is effective for cognitive impairment of vascular origin. In this randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, the investigators apply fMRI study the effects of Butylphthalide Soft Capsules in patients with VCIND.
