Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has clinically been reported to have many benefits within the body, particularly for a wide range of neurological disorders, including spinal cord injuries , brain injuries, neurodegenerative diseases (ie,Parkinson's Alzheimer's), neurodevelopment disorders (ie, Cerebral Palsy, Autism), and peripheral nerve injuries. The beneficial effects can largely be attributed to the protective anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects that this procedure promotes. “The evidence presented in this review indicates the potential of HBOT in treatment and prevention of a variety of injuries to the nervous system” <view study> Read Less

Review of literature from 2004 to 2019 show significant improvements when hyperbaric oxygen therapy is administered following acoustic trauma.  Typically, first line therapy is to provide corticosteroid therapy and if no response is seen in 7 days, then hyperbaric therapy should immediately be deployed <view study> Read Less

Atopic dermatitis (eczema) or AD is a condition that makes your skin red and itchy and is one of the most common inflammatory skin diseases in children. As the disease progresses in severity the consequences can be seen in sleeping disturbances, irritability, stress and social functioning disorders. After only a the 30-day treatment cycle in a hyperbaric chamber, all children with severe atopic dermatitis experienced a significant clinical improvement in their skin condition. There was a reduction in the extent and intensity of skin lesions, as well as a reduction of redness, swelling, oozing/crusting, scratch marks and skin lichenification. Moreover, patients reported a noticeable reduction in the intensity of pruritus (itching) and an improvement in sleep quality! These results are very promising and should give rise to more research into effective treatment dosages and protocols. This particular study used 2.5 ATA for 60 minutes (three 20 min sessions separated by two 5 minute air breaks).  <view study> Read Less

The combination of aging and obesity play major factors in the accelerated aging and degeneration of the brain. Commonly seen symptoms are characterized by problems with memory, language, thinking or judgment. In this study, a simple 2 week course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy was shown to be effective in restoring cognitive function. The protocol used was 2.0 ATA, 80 minutes daily, for 14 days. The researchers noted that "HBOT restored insulin sensitivity, hippocampal functions, cognition in aging and aging-obese models" in this study done on rats <view study> Read Less
