Summary

What Researchers Did

Forty patients with cerebral infarction were treated with hyperbaric oxygenation, with regular EEG analyses to assess cerebral lesion course.

What They Found

The study involved 40 patients with cerebral infarction. Changes observed in EEG analysis and neurological findings were evenly distributed between patients in an early post-stroke stage (III B) and those in a chronic post-stroke stage (IV).

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

A significant limitation is the absence of a control group, making it difficult to definitively attribute observed changes to hyperbaric oxygenation.
