Intrathecal pharmacotherapy in coma
Abstract
A study was made of intrathecal infusion as a route for administration of drugs for the CNS. We recognize the presence of blood brain and CSF brain barriers. CDP-choline was used as the brain activator, and the effect of the intrathecally infused drug was investigated clinically. Fifteen patients with disturbances of consciousness due to primary cerebral lesions received a total of 39 intrathecal infusions of CDP-choline, and were examined neurologically and electroencephalographically before and after treatment.
