NCT06148285

Brief Summary

This study will critically examine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of HBOT during inpatient rehabilitation (IPR) after acute ischemic stroke measured by non-disruption of 3 hours of daily therapy, frequency of neurological deterioration or complications (seizure, hemorrhage, brain edema), and functional communication, activities of daily living (ADLs) and mobility.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (5)

  • Efficacy outcome; change in total and subcomponents of functional independence measure (FIM)

    Difference in the total, motor, and cognitive functional independence measure (FIM) scores between the three arms at the end of respective treatment blocks (2 - week period). Additional analyses for change in the FIM score will also be conducted.

    2 weeks

  • Feasibility outcome; proportion of patients who complete HBOT sessions

    At least 80% of enrolled patients will be able complete all planned HBOT sessions. HBOT will not directly influence a reduction in quantity or quality of prescribed standard of care rehabilitative therapy.

    2 weeks

  • Safety outcome 1; ear pain

    Mild to moderate ear pain: absolute difference (AD) vs. control group ≤ 20%.

    2 weeks

  • Safety outcome 2; barotrauma

    Barotrauma as diagnosed by clinical exam: AD vs. control group ≤ 10%.

    2 weeks

  • Safety outcome 3; any other serious adverse event

    any of the following absolute difference (AD) vs. control group ≤ 20%: neurological worsening (increase in NIHSS at least 4 points), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (parenchymal hemorrhage with neurological worsening), status epilepticus, pulmonary dysfunction (Defined as: respiratory sx requiring supplemental O2, breathing treatment, or evident of pneumothorax or pneumonia on chest imaging performed to evaluate respiratory sx), or death attributed to intervention.

    2 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Per-protocol analysis; change in total and subcomponents of functional independence

    2 weeks

  • Adjusted HBOT treatment effect

    2 weeks

  • Sub group analyses to evaluate heterogeneity of treatment effect

    2 weeks

  • Long-term outcome; 90-day good functional outcome vs. significant to severe disability or death

    90 days

  • Long-term outcome; 90-day functional outcome evaluated as ordinal shift in the modified Rankin Scale

    90 days

  • +3 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (3)

100% oxygen under 2.0ATA

EXPERIMENTAL

The first intervention arm consists of ischemic stroke patients who would undergo HBOT at 2.0 ATA with 100% oxygenation for 60 minutes x10 treatments (Monday-Friday of two sequential weeks).

Device: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

21% oxygen under 2.0ATA

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

The second intervention arm would consist of ischemic stroke patients undergoing HBOT at 2.0 ATA with 21% oxygen (room air) for 60 minutes x10 treatments (Monday-Friday of two sequential weeks).

Device: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

21% oxygen under 1.14ATA

SHAM COMPARATOR

For sham-control; ischemic stroke patients will undergo placement in the hyperbaric oxygen chamber for the same duration of time (60 minutes x10 treatments, Monday-Friday of two sequential weeks) and pressure maintained at 1.14 ATA with 21% oxygen (room air), a non-therapeutic dose of HBOT that sufficiently increases pressure to simulate ear popping, hence maintaining participants blinded to the intervention / sham.

Device: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18 years and above
  • Ischemic stroke proven on neuroimaging

  • Receptive aphasia such that recommendations for preventative measures to mitigate barotrauma cannot be followed
  • History of recurrent and unprovoked seizures requiring a change in management in the last 3 months to control seizures
  • Pulmonary disease requiring supplemental oxygen or daily respiratory medication management (metered dose inhalers, nebulized treatment or steroids)
