The effect of combined hyperbaric oxygen and iloprost treatment on the prevention of spinal cord ischaemia-reperfusion injury: an experimental study.
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) has been shown to be effective in preventing neurological injuries in animal models of ischaemia, whereas iloprost (IL) prevents ischaemia-related mitochondrial dysfunction and reduces infarction size after focal cerebral ischaemia in...
Effects of hyperbaric oxygen on MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions and spinal cord edema after spinal cord injury.
Abstract: To evaluate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy on MMP-2 and MMP-9 expressions and spinal cord edema after acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Ninety-six healthy adult Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: sham, sham+HBO, SCI, and...
Clinical Trial – Normative Datasets for Assessments Planned for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (NORMAL)
The purpose of the research study is to collect information about brain function and
structure among active duty military personnel or civilians who are healthy. Researchers want
to develop a database from normal volunteers that will be used in comparison with a similar
database from active duty military with post-concussive syndrome (PCS) from a mild traumatic
brain injury. Findings from this study may be used to design larger studies that will
evaluate whether hyperbaric oxygen treatments actually improve PCS.
Participants in this study will undergo numerous tests to assess physical, mental, and
intellectual health and how they might change over time. Participants will wear heart and
activity monitors, undergo brain imaging, provide blood and urine for laboratory testing, and
have vision, hearing, balance, and muscle function tests. They will also complete a number of
questionnaires and interviews. This battery of tests will be repeated twice more over the
course of 6 months.
