Abstract Background Breath - holding BH is a suitable method for inducing cerebral vasomotor reactivity VMR . The assessment of VMR is of clinical importance for the early detection of risk conditions and for the follow-up of disabled patients. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography TCD is used to measure cerebral blood flow velocity CBFV during BH whereas near-infrared spectroscopy NIRS measures the concentrations of the oxygenated O2Hb and reduced CO2Hb hemoglobin. The two techniques provide circulatory and functional-related parameters. The aim of the study is the analysis of the relationship between oxygen supply and CBFV as detected by TCD and NIRS in healthy subjects performing BH. Methods 20 healthy subjects 15 males and 5 females age 33 years underwent TCD
