Effect of Intermittent Hypoxia in Healthy Individuals

Sponsor: Shirley Ryan AbilityLab

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The use of acute intermittent hypoxia (AIH) has been examined in animal and human studies to gain an understanding of its effect on spinal excitability and synaptic strength. Subsequently, the investigators have learned that the use of AIH results in new protein formation and spinal plasticity. The use of acute intermittent hypoxia demonstrates a potential for therapeutic utilization in individuals with neurologic injuries. However, little is known about the effect of AIH in healthy individuals. This work is necessary to understand the mechanisms of AIH-induced plasticity. As such, this research study seeks to evaluate the impact of a single session AIH on upper extremity motor function in healthy individuals.
