Abstract:
Objective Researches have demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) could quickly elevate levels of nitric oxide (NO) in patients with ischemic stroke.By meta-analysis,this paper attempts to explore the efficacy of HBOT in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Related literature was retrieved through the access of PUBMED,CNKI,EMBASE databanks from the inception to 2014-08-01,and controlled studies of patients treated with HBO and those treated with routine therapy were chosen from the retrieved literature,and then results of the meta-analysis were used to evaluate changes in the NO levels of ischemic stroke patients treated with HBO (the HBO group) and routine treatment (the sham group).Results There were 5 papers that were conformed to our selection criteria,with a total of 352 cases included.The meta-analysis showed that the odd ratio (OR) of NO levels for the patients in the HBO group and those of the sham group were respectively [4.921 (95% CI was 1.983-12.213)].It was indicated that the NO level of the patients in the HBO group could obviously be elevated following HBO therapy,and was 4.921 times higher than that of the routine therapy group.Conclusions Present evidences indicated that HBO promised to have good clinical application in the treatment of patients with ischemic stroke,and was worth further clinical trial.
