title: [The use of normobaric hypoxia in the therapy of epilepsy].
abstract: The article concerns the usage of discrete normobaric hypoxic therapy as a way to enhance non-specific resistance in epilepsy treatment. The optimising effect of hypoxia on physiological functions of the patients with epilepsy consists in an increase of haemoglobin and erythrocytes in blood, less systole frequency, a systolic and diastolic pressure reduction, prolongation of a breathing hold during a Stange's test). As a result of these changes, the frequency of epileptic attacks decrease and normalization of behavioural responses was observed.
