Effect of Cerebrolysin on the Blood Brain Barrier in Patients With Diabetes and Ischemic Stroke
60 patients around the world
Available in Mexico
A prospective, single-center study would be carried out in the Neurology Department of the
University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González" in order to analyze the effect of
cerebrolysin on the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) in patients with ischemic stroke (IS) of the
middle cerebral artery with personal history of type-2 diabetes (T2D).
The main objective is to compare the effect of cerebrolysin on the BBB in the above mentioned
patients with intravenous thrombolysis (IVT) and without IVT.
The hypothesis of this study is that cerebrolysin can affect the BBB permeability after 10
days of the administration of this drug
