Key Points

  • This research examines the effectiveness of citicoline in treating different types of cognitive disorders.
  • Analyzed randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses.
  • Administered citicoline at various dosages (500 mg to 2000 mg) for different durations (3 to 18 months).
  • Focused on cognitive impairments stemming from post-stroke, chronic cerebral ischemia, and neurodegenerative diseases.
  • Citicoline was found to be highly effective in treating vascular cognitive impairments.
  • Improvement noted in cognitive function among patients with mild cognitive impairment linked to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
  • Dosing regimens varied with condition severity and type, showing flexibility in treatment plans.

Abstract

Randomized controlled trials, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses have shown that citicoline is highly effective in the treatment of vascular cognitive impairments (CI) of various origins (post-stroke, chronic cerebral ischemia (CCI)), post-traumatic CI, mild CI in neurodegenerative diseases (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease), and in patients with age-related memory impairments. Citicoline administration regimens: 1) post-stroke CI at a dose of 1000 mg/day. for a course of 4—12 months; 2) mild CI of vascular origin at a dose of 500 mg/day for a course of 3—9 months; 3) CI against the background of CCI at a dose of 500—2000 mg, the duration of the course depends on the severity of the symptoms; 4) non-demented CI at a dose of 1000 mg/day course of 9 months; 5) mild CI against Parkinson’s disease at a dose of 1000 mg/day 12—18 months.
