MLC901 in Hypoxic-ischemic Brain Injury Patients; A Double-blind, Randomized Placebo-controlled Trial

In a randomized, placebo-controlled trial, 35 patients with HIBI were randomly designated to receive either MLC901 or placebo capsules over six months.

We evaluated patients in two groups by modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) to examine their state of disability and recovery
