43 patients participated in a study for erectile dysfunction. The participants underwent a series of hyperbaric oxygen sessions for a total of 9 months. The collected data was very positive and the results of this study confirmed that hyperbaric oxygen therapy helped to improve erectile function. In addition, they measured both total and free serum testosterone levels and the data did not show any effect on testosterone levels. This would leave us to believe that the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen are not related to hormonal fluctuations occurring from this procedure, but instead other physiological benefits from the hyperbaric administration <view study> Read Less

Concussions, classified as mild traumatic brain injuries, are currently a major growing concern. The more we learn about this condion, the more we are able to see its devastating and long-lasting effects - even from just one concussion! Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a very simple and safe procedure that has helped many patients recover from traumatic brain and head injuries. Recently more attention has been focused on hyperbaric oxygen therpay for concussion recovery, with overwhelmingly positive results. This study supports these reported benefits and demonstrated improvement in 21 of 25 neurocognitive test measures that were observed. Subjects received 40-82 one-hour treatments at 1.5 atmospheres absolute 100% oxygen <view study> Read Less

This case report followed a 58-year-old woman who had been experiencing cognitive decline for 5 years. After an 8 week course of 40 hyperbaric sessions (1.15 ATA/50 minute sessions), she reported improved memory and concentration, decreased disorientation, less frustration, and her anxiety was gone. These remarkable results were confirmed with brain imaging scans, which showed 6.5-38% improvement in overall brain metabolism <view study> Read Less

Deep chemical peels are commonly used by plastic surgeons to help with severely sun damaged skin, coarse wrinkles, scars, and even pre-cancerous growths. The procedure uses a chemical, Phenol, that removes the top layer of skin, causing smoother and younger looking skin to grow back. Phenol are the most aggressive type of skin peel, but can produce more dramatic results. The downside is that it involves longer recovery times. This is where hyperbaric oxygen comes into the picture. Hyperbaric therapy helps to speed up healing. In this study, patients undergoing phenol chemical peel (PCP) were divided into 2 groups. The first group had PCP only and the second group had 5 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy following PCP. The Results: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy following PCP was associated with faster recovery as assessed by both patients and caregivers <view study> Read Less
