Abstract: Objective To observe the of changes of cerebral blood flow and electroencephalography in chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency (CCCI) treated with fastigial nucleus stimulation (FNS) and hyperbaric oxygen (HBO). Methods 144 cases of CCCI were divided into 4 groups: 36 cases were treated with FNS and HBO, 36 cases with FNS, 36 cases with HBO, 36 cases without any treatment as control group. The blood velocity of anterior, middle, posterior cerebral arteries, vertebral artery and basilar artery were measured with transcranial Doppler (TCD) and the brain waves (α, β, δ, θ) were recorded with electroencephalography (EEG) before and after the treatment. Results Compared with the control, the brain blood velocity and α wave increased in all the treatment groups, especially in the HBO+FNS group, while β, δ, θ waves decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion FNS and HBO can increase cerebral blood flow and improve the cerebral function respectively.

Key words: chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency, hyperbaric oxygen, fastigial nucleus stimulation, transcranial Doppler, electroencephalography
