To assess efficacy and tolerability of axamon (ipidacrine) in the complex therapy of patients with cranial-brain injuries, 40 patients have been studied. Patients of the main group (20 persons) received, along with traditional therapy, axamon in dose 0,02 g 3 times daily during 2 months and patients of the control group (20 persons) received only traditional therapy. Clinical examination and assessment with NIS, Autonomic Symptoms Questionnaire, Hamilton anxiety scale, electrophysiological study (magnetic diagnostics, electroneuromyography with investigation of somatosensory evoked potentials, brain CT (MRI) have been conducted at the beginning of treatment and 1 and 2 months after. Axamon demonstrated the highest efficacy (p<0.05) in stopping anxiety symptoms in patients of the main group in the 1st month of treatment. After 2 months, a significant improvement of patient's state in the main group assessed by NIS and Hamilton anxiety scale (p<0.05) was found. Data of electrophysiological and neuroimaging study revealed significant positive changes reflected in the normalization of intracerebral conductance and resolution of structural changes of brain substances in the injury. Side-effects of the drug were brief and did not lead to stopping treatment.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008279	Magnetic Resonance Imaging	Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D002800	Cholinesterase Inhibitors	Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.
