Brief Summary

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

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of stroke on post-stroke level of consciousness through a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized study design. And Brain 18F-FDG PET was used to reveal the mechanism of recovery after cerebrolysin administration.

Thirty patients with chronic stroke patients with minimal consciousness (MCS) or vegetative human (VS) level of consciousness disorder in the revised coma recovery scale were enrolled. Thirty patients were randomly divided into a Cerebrolysin group and a placebo group.
