About this trial

Cognitive impairment is common in people who suffer from hypoxia. Acupuncture and related techniques can be used to improve hypoxia and treat cognitive impairment. In this trial the effect of transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation on cognitive impairment in people under hypoxia will be investigated.
