MATERIAL AND METHODS: Thirty-eight subjects (17 men and 41 women), mean age 27.75±12.05 years, with asthenic syndrome (ICD-10 F48.0 - Neurasthenia) were studied. The sample was randomized into 2 subgroups: the main group (n=20) received oral therapy with recognan (100 mg in 1 ml) for 30 days, while the daily dosage was 500 mg (5 ml). In the control group (n=18), no drug therapy was performed. Patient's state was assessed with a large battery of psychological tests and psychometric scales. The follow-up period was 30 days. All participants were examined three times (initially, in the middle of the study (day 15), in the end of the study (day 30)). RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Asthenic syndrome was detected in 100% of the patients (total asthenia was noted in 70%, decreased activity in 70%, decreased motivation in 40%, physical asthenia in 45%, mental asthenia in 50%). Recognan (citicoline), used for 2 weeks or one month, has a positive effect on the compensation of autonomic, asthenic cognitive and emotional disorders and increases stress resilience of the patients.
