Intermittent Hypoxia Induces Greater Functional Breathing Motor Recovery as a Fixed Rather Than Varied Duration Treatment after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Intermittent Hypoxia Induces Greater Functional Breathing Motor Recovery as a Fixed Rather Than Varied Duration Treatment after Cervical Spinal Cord Injury in Rats

Intermittent hypoxia treatment (IH) has been shown to improve respiratory function in both pre-clinical animal models and human subjects following spinal cord injury (SCI), historically consisting of alternating and equal intervals of hypoxic and normoxic exposure. We describe such a procedure as fi...
