Methods are provided for treatment of acute ischemic brain stroke based on the delivery of a measured amount of ozone to a sample of a mammalian patient's blood, blood fractionate or other biological fluid through the use of an ozone delivery system. The ozone-treated fluid, having absorbed a quantifiable absorbed-dose of ozone, is subsequently reinfused into the same patient and the autologous blood sample provides therapeutic effects to the patient, such as reduction in edema associated with the ischemic penumbra, improvement in impaired blood flow to the area surrounding the infarct, relaxation of the vascular endothelium and reduction of inflammation. |
