HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS RELAPSE Protocol
نویسنده
چکیده
Specific Aim 2: To determine whether use of hyperbaric oxygen impacts MRI parameters. MRI parameters will be evaluated at baseline and 6 months to determine: 2a) Thalamic volume loss 2b) Magnetization transfer ratio (MTR) change in baseline lesions. 2c) Magnetization transfer (MT) histogram whole brain and normal appearing brain tissue change (white matter and gray matter). 2d) Accumulation of new T2 and CE lesions. 2e) T2 brain lesion volume change.

Despite considerable research effort there is little controlled evidence that a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) results in any benefit for patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The great majority of randomized trials involved investigating a course of 20 treatments at pressures between 1.75 and 2.5 atm abs daily for 60-120 min over 4 wk against a placebo regimen. None has tested th...
