There are many reasons, except

Clinically used drugs:

Treatments to improve cerebral blood flow, including dihydroergotoxine preparations, such as Xidezhen, Huoxin, Esquicarin, Kyle, etc .;

treatments to improve the brain's oxygen supply, such as hyperbaric oxygen chamber, Duxie, etc .;

Drugs to improve learning and memory, such as Naofang (Piracetam), San Lexi (Aniracetam), etc .;

Neurotrophic drugs, such as Nerve Growth Factor, Cerebrolysin, Aiweizhi, Citicoline, Energy Mixture, etc. Although these drugs are commonly used clinically, there is still no evidence-based medicine.

Targeted drug treatment: Nimotop (nimodipine) is a calcium ion antagonist that can prevent calcium from flowing into cells. The possible mechanisms for improving vascular cognitive dysfunction are:

Increase cerebral blood flow and improve cerebral ischemia;

Eliminate intracellular calcium overload and avoid cell death;

Inhibit lipid peroxidation and scavenge free radicals.
