Traumatic Brain Injury and Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability and death world-wide. Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been demonstrated to enhance the recovery from TBI and augment brain activity by reducing hypoxia and neuroinflammation, while increasing circulation in the brain. Also, HBOT has been reported to synergistically enhance the effect of other therapies, including standard intensive rehabilitation, for TBI patients to help accelerate recovery.

Conclusion: “Clinical Studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for TBI with the following:

Enhance Neurological Repair and Regeneration with HBOT

  • Attenuates the effects of Hypoxia and Inflammation in the brain

  • Promotes Neurogenesis

  • Moderates Mitochondrial Disorders

  • Enhances Stem Cell Mobilisation and Proliferation

  • Increases Penumbra Tissue Recovery

  • Stimulates Neuroplasty

  • Induces Remyelination

  • Augments Concussion Recovery

Improve Overall Function with HBOT

  • Advances Cognitive Function

  • Improves Gross / Fine Motor Skills

  • Enhances Speech and Language

  • Alleviates Spasticity

  • Lessens frequency of seizures

  • Stimulates Better Eye Contact

  • Improves Balance and Walking
