About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Cerebral Small Vessel Diseases focused on measuring small vessel disease of the brain, hyperbaric oxygen, functional connectivity MRI

Eligibility Criteria

50 Years - 90 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • White Matter Hyperintensities on MRI
  • 2 or more neurological symptoms or impairments e.g. gait disturbances, disequilibrium, cognitive decline, dysmetria, hyper-rflexia

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Contraindication to hyperbaric oxygen treatment e.g. pulmonary emphysema, seizure disorder
  • major eustachian tube dysfunction
  • stroke with previous 6 months
  • extreme cognitive impairment
  • major depression
  • history of migraine, electroshock therapy, brain irradiation, brain tumor, head trauma
  • other uncontrolled co-morbidities, e.g. diabetes, renal or hepatic dysfunction, hypertension, thyroid disorders, carotid artery stenosis (>70%)

5. Study Description

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