HBOT - Neurological activity and functionality.

A prospective, randomized, crossover, controlled trial was published in 2013 testing the effectiveness of HBOT for improving brain function and quality of life for mild-traumatic brain injured patients suffering chronic neurocognitive impairments. A total of 56 patients, 1-5 years after injury, with prolonged post-concussion syndrome were evaluated. Patients in the treated group were assessed prior to HBOT and after 40 HBOT sessions. Whereas patients in the crossover group were evaluated three times: prior to HBOT, after a 2-month control period of no HBOT and after 2-months of 40 HBOT sessions. Significant improvements were confirmed in cognitive function and quality of life in both groups after HBOT, however, no significant improvement was observed following the control period. HBOT was shown to induce significant brain function improvements, the creation of new brain connections and increased brain activity.

New evidence presents how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is helping individuals regain neurological activity and functionality. For neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, in addition to neurological injuries, HBOT provides the brain with increased levels of oxygen to help recover/repair brain tissue, proliferate the creation of new brain cells and improve cognitive functioning. Clinical studies have demonstrated the benefits of HBOT for neurological conditions with the following:

Improve Brain Functioning & Performance with HBOT

Increases Circulatory Pathways in the Brain

Enhance Memory and Mental Performancee

Improves Oxygenation to the Brain

Improve Brain Repair & Recovery with HBOT

Recovers & Repairs Damaged Brain Tissue

Develops & Regains Cognitive/Motor Functions

Attenuate Nervous System Inflammation with HBOT

Reduces Brain Swelling

Decreases Pressure within the Skull

Reduces Risk of Compromised Blood Flow to the Brain

Minimizes Oxidative Stress

Increase Regeneration of the Nervous System with HBOT

Stimulates the Creation of New Brain Cells

Facilitates the Formation of New Brain Connections

Promotes the Construction of New Brain Tissue

Improve Neurological Conditions with HBOT

Neurodevelopmental Conditions (Autism, Cerebral Palsy, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome)

Neurological Injuries (Stroke, Traumatic Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries, Concussions)

Neurodegenerative Conditions (Alzheimer's , Parkinson's, Huntington's Disease)
