Molecular Hydrogen : Emerging Treatment for Stroke Management

Ischemic stroke is a major cause of death and disability worldwide. However, only intravenous thrombolysis using mechanical thrombectomy or tissue plasminogen activator is considered an effective and approved treatment. Molecular hydrogen is an emerging therapeutic agent and has recently become a research focus. Molecular hydrogen is involved in antioxidative, anti-inflammatory, and antiapoptotic functions in normal physical processes and may play an important role in stroke management; it has been evaluated in numerous preclinical and clinical studies in several administration formats, including inhalation of hydrogen gas, intravenous or intraperitoneal injection of hydrogen-enriched solution, or drinking of hydrogen-enriched water. In addition to investigation of the underlying mechanisms, the safety and efficacy of using molecular hydrogen have been carefully evaluated, and favorable outcomes have been achieved. All available evidence indicates that molecular hydrogen may be a promising treatment option for stroke management in the future. This review aimed to provide an overview of the role of molecular hydrogen in the management of stroke and possible further modifications of treatment conditions and procedures in terms of dose, duration, and administration route.
