Mark,

There have been hundreds of human studies done on it since the 1970's in Europe and Asia. All have shown benefit from its use for head injured patients.

I found that aniracetam can cause severe head ache and pain from acetycholine depletion. It is suggested that a acetylcholine precursor such as 1-alpha glycerylphosphorylcholine (Alpha GPC) be co-administered in a ratio of 4 parts aniracetam to 3 parts Alpha GCP.

There is a lack of thorough human studies except to note that the maximum beneficial daily does it 1000mgs. The FDA has not approved it. It is sold as a smart drug and to body builders.

I would be interested in more human studies, whether US or foreign. It appears to have been studied in humans in japan.
