Clinical Trial Summary

This study will critically examine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of HBOT during inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) after acute ischemic stroke measured by non-disruption of 3 hours of daily therapy, frequency of neurological deterioration or complications (seizure, hemorrhage, brain edema), and functional communication, activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility.


Clinical Trial Description

Preclinical studies support that HBOT augments several adaptive mechanisms following ischemic stroke, including neuroplasticity, cerebral angiogenesis, and regeneration of nerve fibers. The earlier the treatment, the greater potential for a therapeutic effect. However, logistical issues and safety concerns have prevented application of HBOT in the hyperacute window, particularly when coupled with recanalization therapy as the risk of hemorrhagic conversion is highest, monitoring intervals are short, and the natural history is being altered by another treatment. By enrolling patients who are in the subacute phase of stroke who are admitted to an inpatient rehab facility, the risk of HBOT is lower, monitoring intervals are longer, and the selected population has newly acquired and targetable stroke-related disability. Further, the patients are in a supervised setting and available for daily one-hour treatments without disrupting their intensive multidisciplinary rehab plan thereby minimizing nonadherence to daily treatments. Neuroimaging supports that injured, but not dead, brain cells can persist for months after an ischemic event. Hypoxia mediates cellular activity and death through multiple mechanisms. Ongoing decrease in oxygenation to the damaged area due to impaired blood flow works against cellular repair, recovery, and development of new synaptic connections. Increasing oxygen availability has been considered as an obvious treatment for stroke. HBOT has the potential to facilitate the recovery of injured or inactive neurons through increased blood flow and oxygen delivery. ;
