Electroencephalographic and clinical changes as correlated in geriatric patients treated three months with an ergot alkaloid preparation

M Matejcek et al. J Am Geriatr Soc. 1979 May.

Abstract

The results of a 3-month trial with an ergot alkaloid preparation (Hydergine) in 16 geriatric patients showed that, in accordance with a previously proposed working hypothesis, the improvement induced by the drug in electroencephalographic age-related changes was accompanied by clinical improvement in patients with similarly age-related mental deterioration.
