A study coming out of Thailand looked at applying 1.3ATA (low pressure hyperbaric oxygen) to autistic children. They pre-assessed them before the hyperbaric procedure and then re-evaluated them after only 10 sessions. Significant improvements were obtained from only 10 sessions in 75% of the children that participated in this study <view study> Read Less

Over the past few years, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is being used increasingly by doctors and clinicians for its off-label uses, and autism is one of the largest conditions, particularly for lower pressure protocols. It is very well known that autistic children will have much higher levels of inflammation presenting in the brain (neuroinflammation). This study looked at lower pressure protocols and followed markers of inflammation. They found significant improvements with both ambient air and with breathing 100% oxygen, including anti-inflammatory effects. More importantly, they were also able to observe significant clinical benefits and improvements <view study> Read Less

With the growing rise in autism, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is seeing its own rapid growth, particularly in many research facilities. Strong data is now pointing to the potential benefits that this procedure may provide for autistic children. This study looked at 1.3 ATA (lower pressure hyperbarics) with using slightly higher than room air oxygen levels, and were able to show significant improvements, within a 40 sessions protocol. By giving lower pressure protocols without the added need for 100% oxygen, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can now be much more readily accessible than previously before — the implications are enormous! <view study> Read Less
