Abstract:

Objective To explore the effect of hyperbaric oxygen combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation on patients with stroke-related sleep disorders.
Methods From November, 2023 to November, 2024, a total of 68 stroke patients with stroke-related sleep disorders admitted to Huashan Hospital, Fudan University were selected. They were randomly divided into control group (n = 34) and experimental group (n = 34). The control group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy, while the experimental group received routine hyperbaric oxygen therapy combined with synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation inside the chamber, for four weeks. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), sleep-monitoring wristbands, Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) were used to assess the outcomes before and after treatment..
Results Four patients in the control group and one in the experimental group dropped out. After treatment, the scores of each factors of PSQI decreased in both groups (t > 2.693, P < 0.05), and were lower in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 2.699, P < 0.01), expect hypnotic drug use (P > 0.05); the total sleep time, deep sleep time and rapid eye movement sleep time became longer in both groups (|t| > 7.270, P < 0.001), and they were longer in the experimental group than in the control group (|t| > 5.712, P < 0.001); the scores of SAS and SDS decreased in both groups (t > 9.530, P < 0.001), and they were less in the experimental group than in the control group (t > 4.740, P < 0.001).
Conclusion Synchronous brain bionic electrical stimulation in hyperbaric oxygen chamber could effectively prolong the total sleep time, deep sleep time and rapid eye movement time of patients with stroke-related sleep disorders, relieve anxiety and depression after stroke, and improve sleep quality.
