Interval normobaric hypoxitherapy and the parameters of the P300 component of auditory evoked potentials in patients with ischemic stroke in the recovery period
A P300 component of auditory evoked potentials (AEP) was investigated in 55 patients with ischemic stroke in the recovery period who had undergone the combined interval normobaric 10-12 % hypoxitherapy (ING) treatment. The comparison group consisted of 55 patients with ischemic stroke in the recovery period who had been treated using the standard therapy. The detected changes in the amplitude and latency parameters of the P300 component of AEP showed the positive ING effect on cognitive functions of patients with ischemic stroke in the recovery period. An increase in the amplitude and a decrease in the latency of the P300 component of AEP indicated the increase of the volume and the speed of mental processes in patients after ischemic stroke by the end of the ING treatment course.
