Certain investigations have demonstrated that DL-3-n-butylphthalide exerts a significant neuroprotective effect in the context of cerebral ischemia. The aim of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of butylphthalide in the treatment of acute ischemic stroke.</p> <p><bold><italic>Materials and methods.</italic></bold> A review of publications was conducted using the PubMed and ScienceDirect scientific databases. Consideration was given to the year of publication, with preference accorded to articles from the last decade. The inclusion criteria excluded non-randomized studies, investigations examining the effects of butylphthalide in combination with other pharmaceuticals, and research not specifically focused on patients with acute ischemic stroke.</p> <p><bold><italic>Results.</italic></bold> The selected studies enrolled exclusively Chinese patients, with a total cohort of 2,622 individuals. Therapeutic efficacy was assessed by monitoring the dynamics of neurological deficit using the US National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale and by evaluating the recovery of functional independence in daily living according to the Barthel Index. The data obtained at various stages of treatment have been compiled into tables.</p> <p><bold><italic>Discussion and conclusion.</italic></bold> The data from the studies reviewed herein indicate that butylphthalide is efficacious when administered early to patients experiencing ischemic stroke. However, definitive confirmation of its clinical significance necessitates further large-scale, multi-center trials with extended follow-up periods. These trials must encompass not only Chinese populations but also diverse ethnic groups.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold><italic>Введение.</italic></bold><bold> </bold>Ишемический инсульт является одной из ведущих причин инвалидности и смертности во всем мире. Некоторые исследования показали, что DL-3-n-бутилфталид оказывает значительное нейропротекторное действие при церебральной ишемии. <italic>Цель исследования –</italic> оценить эффективность бутилфталида при лечении острого ишемического инсульта.</p> <p><bold><italic>Материалы и методы</italic></bold><bold>.</bold> Проанализированы публикации из массива статей, представленных в научных базах данных PubMed и ScienceDirect. Учитывали год издания, предпочтение отдавали публикациям за последние 10 лет. В обзор не были включены нерандомизированные исследования, научные работы, изучающие эффект бутилфталида в комбинации с другими препаратами, а также работы, не направленные на изучение пациентов с острым ишемическим инсультом.</p> <p><bold><italic>Результаты исследования.</italic></bold> В отобранных исследованиях принимали участие исключительно китайские пациенты общим количеством 2 622 чел. Эффективность терапии оценивалась путем мониторинга динамики неврологического дефицита по шкале Национального института здравоохранения США и восстановления функциональной независимости в повседневной жизни по индексу Бартеля. Полученные данные на разных этапах лечения сведены в таблицы.</p> <p><bold><italic>Обсуждение и заключение.</italic></bold> Данные исследований, рассмотренных в этом обзоре, свидетельствуют об эффективности бутилфталида при раннем назначении пациентам с ишемическим инсультом. Однако для окончательного подтверждения его клинической значимости требуются дальнейшие масштабные многоцентровые исследования с длительным периодом наблюдения, которые должны охватывать не только китайскую популяцию, но и другие этнические группы.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>butylphthalide</kwd><kwd>ischemic stroke</kwd><kwd>neuroprotection</kwd><kwd>randomized clinical trials</kwd><kwd>stroke treatment</kwd><kwd>microcirculation</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>бутилфталид</kwd><kwd>ишемический инсульт</kwd><kwd>нейропротекция</kwd><kwd>рандомизированные клинические испытания</kwd><kwd>лечение инсульта</kwd><kwd>микроциркуляция</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Mitchell P.J., Yan B., Churilov L., Dowling R.J., Bush S.J., Bivard A. et al.
