Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: The Effect of Hyperbaric Oxygen on the Functional Connectivity of Resting State Neural Networks in Patients With Cerebral Small Vessel Disease

Brief Summary: Patients will have a Functional MRI before and after 10 hyperbaric Oxygen treatments.

Detailed Summary: Functional MRI studies will be done before and 4-6 weeks after Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment to assess changes in connectivity of resting state neural networks. 10 hyperbaric treatments at 2 atmospheres absolute for 1 hour at pressure will be administered. A review of symptoms and and thorough clinical neurological examination by an experienced neurologist familiar with these studies will be done before and 4-6 weeks after the hyperbaric treatments.
Sponsor: St. Luke's Hospital, Chesterfield, Missouri

Current Primary Outcome: Change in average functional connectivity (fc) within the Default Mode Network and the Dorsal Attention Network will be obtained by resting state network (rsn) functional connectivity (rsnfc) MRI. [ Time Frame: Change in baseline rsnfc before and 4 weeks after hyperbaric oxygen ]

Functional connectivity MRI of resting state neural networks.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current
