ABSTRACT
To explore the clinical efficacies of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on the recovery of cognitive function in stroke patients on hemodialysis.Forty stroke patients on hemodialysis were assigned randomly into hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) (n =20 ) and routine therapy groups (n =20).Patients of HBO group received both hyperbaric oxygen therapy and routine therapy.Nerves functions and cognitive function were observed before and after therapy to compare the clinical outcomes.Neuropsychological tests,minimental status examination (MMSE) and activities of daily living (ADL) were used for assessing cognitive function.Then the outcomes were compared with those of the control group.Nerves function and cognitive dysfunction of the treatment group had significant improvement (P < 0.01).Hyperbaric oxygen can significantly improve cognitive dysfunction in stroke patients on hemodialysis.
