A double-blind crossover trial is described in which the effect of cyclandelate is assessed on 40 patients admitted to a psychiatric hospital who were severely handicapped with symptoms due to arteriosclerotic brain disease. Significant improvement was observed in a number of important mental functions, suggesting that enhancing the cerebral circulation produces a favourable clinical response in this category of patient.
