39 ASD children (35 boys, 4 girls) underwent a ’40 Hour’ intensive course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (either once daily for 8 weeks or twice daily for 4 weeks) at 1.5 ATA (60 minutes each). The participants were then divided into two age groups: older (over 79 months) and younger (under 79 months). “In younger children under study post-therapy improvements were found for the ATEC Sociability - "Does not imitate", ATEC Sensory/cognitive awareness - "Shows imagination", and ATEC Health/physical/behavior - "Sound-sensitive" items. In older children improvements were noted for ATEC Health/physical/behavior - "Obsessive speech" and CARS emotional response, adaptation to change, and total score” “The results of the present study demonstrate that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a valuable component of the comprehensive treatment and rehabilitation process in children with autism spectrum disorders.” <view study> Read Less

A 10 year (2008-2018) retrospective analysis was conducted on (chronic) stroke patients (>3 months) The hyperbaric protocol consisted of 90 minute daily sessions, each at 2.0 ATA (with 5 minute air breaks every 20 minuets), 5 days per week for a total of 40 to 60 sessions. Even though the patients were treated after a median of 1.5±3.3 years post-stroke, there were significant cognitive improvements in all the cognitive domains which were measured using objective computerized test <view study> Read Less

High fat diets are are on ongoing concern in today’s society, contributing to the rapid rise in rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome, both of which are serious health issues to human beings. During this study, mice were treated with high fat diets and observed to have a multitude of adverse effects, including an increase in their body/fat tissue weight, blood fatty acid levels and a decrease in their circulation and skeletal muscle L-carnitine levels. More importantly, the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy reversed these negative changes. Hyperbaric Oxygen’s ability to help the body correct the harmful changes caused by high fat diets allows this treatment to be “a promising physical therapy for management of metabolic syndrome and obesity”. <view study> Read Less
