Studies

Vertigoheel promotes rodent cognitive performance in multiple memory tests.

Summary

A study was conducted to assess the potential cognitive benefits of VH-04, a drug that has been used for decades to treat vertigo. The researchers investigated its effects on memory and explored the biological mechanisms behind its activity. Cognitive impairment in older individuals and those with brain disorders can be debilitating, and current therapies only offer temporary improvement. This research aims to find new, safe, and effective therapeutics to reverse or delay cognitive impairment. By repurposing VH-04, a drug with a proven safety record, there is hope for developing a more successful treatment option.
