Pirabel during prolonged physical work and recovery — monograph section 6.2
S. V. Okovityi, E. B. Shustov, V. Ts. Bolotova · Work Capacity, Fatigue, Correction. Knorus; section 6.2, pp. 184–189
The book describes a double-blind comparison including placebo, Bemitil, and Pirabel, with performance and recovery measures. It reports endpoint-specific differences, not universal improvement.
- Population / setting
- 78 healthy volunteers aged 18–25, divided into eight groups; six-hour physical-load model
- What was checked
- Recovered 330-page attachment: title page and section text checked; page 184 visually inspected. Full independent methods review not completed.
Limitations & review scope
- Group allocation is described as equivalent groups; randomization has not been established.
- No piracetam-only group appears in the listed comparison, so this cannot establish pharmacological synergy.
- A monograph report is not independent replication; original cited reports require retrieval.
- Young volunteers performing controlled physical work do not establish effects on sleep, watchkeeping, or toxic-exposure safety.
