Hyperbaric oxygen chambers are typically used in hospitals and wound care centers at higher pressures for treatment of burn victims. In this report, a hospital in Argentina used a multi-disciplinary approach in treating a 17 year old with an electric hand injury. The hospital used a lower pressure protocol at 1.45 ATA in combination with PRP and skin graft. This  multi-therapeutic approach showed quick and effective recovery for the young girl <view study> Read Less

The most common cause of dementia in the elderly is Alzheimer's disease (AD). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been reported to have numerous physiological benefits for the brain, particularly for aging or degenerative brain disorders. This review article published in the journal of Alzheimer's disease (JAD) reviewed 391 full text articles between 1980-2021. The data from these studies showed both neurocognitive benefits along with positive clinical outcome for AD. These results led the authors of this review article to advocate for the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for AD. They also encourage future studies to be performed for protocol development, with the goal of long-term cognitive health <view study> Read Less

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
