The Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen on the Functional Connectivity of Resting State Neural Networks in Patients With Cerebral Small Vessel Disease
Description:
Patients without contraindications to Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment or magnetic resonance
imaging who exhibit white matter hyper-intensities on MRI will be recruited to have a
functional MRI followed by10 hyperbaric oxygen treatments at 2 ATA for one hour. These
treatments will be done once daily, from Monday through Friday, on 2 consecutive weeks. 4-6
weeks later, they have a repeat fMRI. These fMRI’s will be analyzed regarding any changes in
the resting state connectivity of various circuits.
