Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied 60 patients with ischaemic stroke to understand how hyperbaric oxygen therapy works and to find the best treatment plans.

What They Found

They found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy had a complex and varied effect on blood vessels in both healthy and damaged parts of the brain. The study identified effective treatment schedules and the best duration for therapy. The main benefit of hyperbaric oxygen was correcting metabolic acidosis, a chemical imbalance, in the brain's affected areas and improving the function of cerebral blood vessels.
