Summary
This is a research study on Altitude Illness. From the information collected and studied in
this project we hope to learn more about Altitude Illness, including factors that may affect
and prevent the development and progression of this condition. We hope to learn if the
commonly used non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication, ibuprofen can prevent altitude
illness. Possible participants in this study are healthy adults who indicated they would like
to participate, learn about altitude illness, and desire to hike Barcroft Peak. Stanford
University researchers hope to enroll about 100 participants.
