Intervention(s):

Stage I Group A (Experimental)-NeuroEpo 1mg (13 patients): It will receive 1.0 mg of NeuroEPO by nasal route every 8 hours for 3 days. From the 4th day and up to the 7th 1.0 mg 1 time a day; from the 8th day until the month 3, 0.5mg 3 times a week. Group B (Experimental)-NeuroEpo 0.5mg (13 patients): It will receive 0.5 mg of NeuroEPO by nasal route every 8 hours for 3 days. From the 4th day and up to the 7th 1.0 mg 1 time a day; from the 8th day until the month 3, 0.5mg 3 times a week. Group C (Control)-Placebo (13 patients): It will be divided into 2 parts. One part (7 patients) will receive 1.0 mg of Placebo every 8 hours for 3 days. From the 4th day and up to the 7th 1.0 mg 1 time a day. from the 8th day to the month 3 0.5 mg 3 times a week and the other part (6 patients) will receive 0.5 mg of Placebo every 8 hours for 3 days. From the 4th day and up to the 7th 1.0 mg 1 time a day. from the 8th day to the month 3 0.5 mg 3 times a week. Stage II After 3 months, the Bayes Factor (BF) will be estimated as a Benefit-Risk measure and the group with the highest BF will go to this stage with the scheme that it brings from stage I with the same duration of treatment (3 months). In this scheme will be included the rest of the patients
