. Alteration of higher cerebral functions is one of the most frequent complications of cerebrovascular diseases. Vertebral artery syndrome refers to the early form of this kind of diseases. However, there are no papers which evaluate the possibility of use of osteopathic treatment in patients presenting the vertebral artery syndrome, as well as the infl uence of osteopathic treatment on their neuropsychological indices. The paper presents results of supervision and continues the series of studies in the sphere of evidence basis of the effectiveness of osteopathic treatment. Research objectives. To study and to evaluate the results of neuropsychological examination of patients presenting the vertebral artery syndrome before and after osteopathic treatment. Research methods. We examined 80 patients presenting the vertebral artery syndrome aged 20 to 60. All the patients were divided in two groups (40 people each), according to the treatment methods used. The main group received osteopathic treatment together with the medication therapy. The control group received only medication therapy. All the patients were subjected to the neuropsychological examination, which included evaluation of shortand long-term memory, cognitive functions (memory and orientation), analysis of the implicit emotional tonicity and the level of asthenia. Results. The neuropsychological examination permitted to detect the reduction of the long-term memory, presence of implicit emotional tonicity, and asthenia of different degree of manifestation. Use of osteopathic treatment together with the classical medication treatment leads to normalization of the altered neuropsychological indices signifi cantly better in comparison with the isolated medication therapy. Conclusion. The obtained results emphasize the importance of the use of osteopathic treatment in complex programs of rehabilitation of patients presenting the vertebral artery syndrome.
