A randomized controlled double-blind study on the brain protection of infantile patients with epileptic spasm syndrome through atomized inhalation of hydrogen-oxygen gas.

Hydrogen-oxygen nebulization inhalation has a brain-protective effect. This study aims to evaluate its short-term efficacy and safety as an adjuvant treatment for infantile epileptic spasms syndrome (IESS). A prospective randomized double-blind controlled trial enrolled 53 IESS children (Nov 2021-Nov 2023), randomized via a random number table into a hydrogen-oxygen inhalation group (27 cases, 66.6% H₂/33.3% O₂ nebulization) and an air inhalation group (26 cases, medical air nebulization).

Hydrogen-rich water and caffeine for alertness and brain metabolism in sleep-deprived habitual coffee drinkers.

The main aim of this randomized-controlled cross-over interventional trial was to assess the acute effects of taking a single dose of hydrogen-rich water (HRW), and compare it with caffeine, HRW plus caffeine, and control water, for alertness, brain metabolism, brain and oxygen saturation, and self-reported adverse events in healthy men and women who were habitual coffee drinkers and were sleep-deprived for 24 hr. Sixteen apparently healthy young adults (8 men and 8 women; age 24.0 ± 3.5 years) were allocated in a cross-over design to receive a single-dose drink of HRW (8 ppm), caffeine (50 mg),…

Molecular Hydrogen: an Emerging Therapeutic Medical Gas for Brain Disorders

Oxidative stress and neuroinflammation are the main physiopathological changes involved in the initiation and progression of various neurodegenerative disorders or brain injuries. Since the landmark finding reported in 2007 found that hydrogen reduced the levels of peroxynitrite anions and hydroxyl free radicals in ischemic stroke, molecular hydrogen's antioxidative and anti-inflammatory effects have aroused widespread interest. Due to its excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, hydrogen therapy via different routes of administration exhibits great therapeutic potential for a wide range of brain disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, depression, anxiety, traumatic…
