LOW-PRESSURE HYPERBARIC OXYGEN HELPS BLAST-INDUCED INJURED MILITARY SUBJECTS WITH POST CONCUSSION DISORDER AND PTSD

16 military subjects received a ‘typical dose’ of low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (40 sessions at 1.5 ATA for 60 min HBOT within 30 days) for mild to moderate traumatic brain injuries.

After treatment, they demonstrated significant improvement in impulsivity, mood, anxiety, quality of life scores, and more. Their SPECT brain scans showed remarkable overall improvement in blood flow.

These results were confirmed with brain imaging scans which showed remarkable improvements in blood flow to these regions of the brain, following the course of treatments. <view study
