Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Efficacy of Normobaric Oxygen on Chronic Cerebral Ischemia (NCT NCT03745092)

NCT ID: NCT03745092

Last Updated: 2020-04-08

Results Overview

The patients undergo 30-minute EEG recordings two times. Between the two times of EEG recordings, the patients are performed with the specific interventions (NBO or rest) for 45 minutes. The fronto-central theta absolute power change rate was calculated as the theta (4-8Hz) absolute power at (the baseline EEG minus the post-intervention EEG)/the baseline EEG over the fronto-central electrodes (F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, Cz). The theta absolute power (with units microvolts squared) is computed using Fast Fourier Transform for each electrode over the theta frequency band.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 30 minutes baseline EEG, 45 minutes intervention, 30 minutes post-intervention EEG

The patients undergo 30-minute EEG recordings two times. Between the two times of EEG recordings, the patients are performed with the specific interventions (NBO or rest) for 45 minutes. The fronto-central theta absolute power change rate was calculated as the theta (4-8Hz) absolute power at (the baseline EEG minus the post-intervention EEG)/the baseline EEG over the fronto-central electrodes (F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, Cz). The theta absolute power (with units microvolts squared) is computed using Fast Fourier Transform for each electrode over the theta frequency band.

The patients undergo 30-minute EEG recordings two times. Between the two times of EEG recordings, the patients are performed with the specific interventions (NBO or rest) for 45 minutes. The fronto-central delta absolute power change rate was calculated as the delta (1-4Hz) absolute power at (the baseline EEG minus the post-intervention EEG)/the baseline EEG over the fronto-central electrodes (F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, Cz). The delta absolute power (with units microvolts squared) is computed using Fast Fourier Transform for each electrode over the delta frequency band.

The patients undergo 30-minute EEG recordings two times. Between the two times of EEG recordings, the patients are performed with the specific interventions (NBO or rest) for 45 minutes.

The entropy is computed via nonlinear dynamics method and represents the complexity of the signal in the information science initially (with units nat). It can also be applied in assessing the complexity of the EEG signal to evaluate the brain functions. The wavelet entropy analysis is a sub-type of entropy which is proceeded with wavelet transform. The wavelet entropy analysis provides a quantitative measure of the degree of disorder in the brain rhythm at various times in brain injury and recovery. The higher value of the wavelet entropy indicates the better brain functions. The fronto-central wavelet entropy change in this study is defined as the wavelet entropy value at the baseline EEG minus the post-intervention EEG over the fronto-central electrodes (F3, F4, Fz, C3, C4, Cz).
