METHOD FOR IMPROVING COGNITIVE FUNCTIONS Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61G10/00 A61M16/12 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to experimental medicine and can be used for improvement of functional control systems, responsible for cognitive functions of human brain. Method comprises exposing subject to barochamber action. Subject is exposed to hypoxic action at air pressure equivalent to an altitude of 5,000 m above sea level, with a duration of 2 hours with interval of 24 hours in 3 days. Pressure reduction from normal to limit, corresponding to "ascent", and an increase in pressure in opposite direction - "descent" - is carried out stepwise and/or continuously. "Ascent" and "descent" is carried out at a rate of no more than 4 m/s, in turn, "ascent" is accompanied by one-, two-, four- and six-minute stoppages at "altitude" of 1,000 m, 2,000 m, 3,000 m 4,000 m, respectively. Total ascent and descent time is approximately 60 minutes.

EFFECT: method allows improves safety and efficiency of procedure aimed at improving cognitive functions due to hypobaric hypoxia, equivalent to a rise in mountains with a moderately rarefied atmosphere and same ratio of concentrations of its components.
