[Computer-assisted EEG in epileptic patients treated with intermittent normobaric hypoxic therapy in combined...

The article presents an analysis of bioelectrical brain activity in patients with epilepsy during adaptation to intermittent normobaric hypoxia. Before adaptation and after the 1st, 4th, 20th adaptation sessions, resting EEG and EEG during hyperventilation were registered. By the end of the hypoxic trainings, a significant increase of spectral power of the EEG bands was found in resting EEG. At comparing bioelectrical activity in the resting condition and during hyperventilation, the difference between these indices decreased towards the end of hypoxic therapy course. This evidence argues for brain functions normalization during hypoxic therapy.
