Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Vascular Dementia |Biomedgrid

Diabetic vascular complications are a combination of specific abnormalities and vascular disease found in people with diabetes. Chronic and long-term metabolic and hormone imbalances are the pathogenesis of diabetic vascular disease [1]. Studies have shown that cerebrovascular diseases may cause Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or vascular dementia (Vascular dementia, VD). In addition, in the elderly with normal cognition, it is also found that due to vascular risk factors and changes in cerebral blood flow (vascular disorders), there is a risk of subjective (self-perceived) cognitive decline. Therefore, improving cerebral blood perfusion, reducing intracranial pressure, alleviating brain edema, increasing tissue oxygen partial pressure, promoting brain tissue healing and neovascularization are important methods for the treatment of patients with MCI or VD. Due to the limitations and side effects of conventional therapies, studies have proposed a complementary therapy that can significantly improve this disease-Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
