E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Establish more information about hyperbaric oxygen therapy for this group of patients. Can we find any indications that supports use of this therapy for patients suffering from chronic disability after cerebral infarction. Can we improve physical and cognitive function.
|
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
This is a pilot project including 6 patients for one session of 20 HBO2 treatments. The objective is to establish knowledge of HBO for this group of patients in a Norwegian context, so that we can prepare for the main study afterwards, including about 70 patients. We need to know how to optimize the administrative and technical systems for the larger study. We want to collect feedback from the patients undergoing the pilot study. We want more information about the treatment table, if 20 treatments are enough, if 2,4 bar pressure is adequate. The treatment table is based on existing research, and is considered safe.

|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Inlcution criteria: - No age restriction, other than women under 55 yeras of age, because of risk of pregnancy - Suffered from ischemic stroke (cerebral infarction) 6-12 months before inclusion. - Stable phase after standard rehabilitation (https://www.helsedirektoratet.no/pakkeforlop/hjerneslag/oppfolging-og-rehabilitering-ved-hjerneslag) - Measurable physical function failure and / or reduced ADL function. - Sufficient physical function / mobility to be able to move into / out of the pressure chamber with the help of only one person (Tender).
|
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients to participate in the study must be physically, mentally and cognitively fit for pressure chamber treatment. They must be able to stand for their own help, move with support, and be able to follow instructions. This is ensured by discretionary assessment after observation and interview with the patient. Women in childbearing age (up to, and including 55 years old women) are excluded because the effect of hyperbaric oxygen on the fetus is not fully understood).
Patients who have the following contraindications cannot participate in the study. - Claustrophobia - Psychosis, severe anxiety - Inability to equalize pressure in the middle ear - Severe COPD and asthma, pathological lung sounds - Hypertension (Blood pressure > 140/90 mmHg) - Epilepsy whith history of seizures - Pregnancy or the possibility for pregnancy - Hernia - Earlier fractures, or suspected fractures in the face - Ongoing chemotherapy - Ongoing treatment with Disulfiram - ongoing or previous treatment with Bleomycin - Aphasia that prevents necessary communication - Cognitive failure that prevents necessary co-operation in the pressure chamber. - Previous or current pneumothorax, other lung injury - Increased risk of pneumothorax --Known or suspected injury to the chest --Marfan syndrome --Homocystinuria --Family history of pneumothorax --Chronic lung disease (COPD, Emphysema, Asthma eller cystic fibrosis) --Tuberculosis - Illness in ears, nose or thorat, that could lead to problems during compression/decompression (chronic rhinitis, holes in the eardrum, laryngocele, vestibular syndrome, recent surgery on the middle ear) - Fever uncontrolled, temperature 38,5 Celcius and over.
In the case of sudden and transient illness such as sinusitis and ear infections, NUI's physician assesses the risk of each patient before treatment can be given. |
