New study shows that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) helps to improve memory and learning, while at the same time reducing brain damage, in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) brains. More importantly, they looked at preconditioning the brain with just 5 session of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to get these beneficial results. With the growing number of individuals being diagnosed with AD, along with the numerous others that are concerned with the aging of their brains and deterioration in their memory, it looks like hyperbaric oxygen therapy may  provide a valuable relief to those suffering from AD, while still giving hope to those looking to prevent its devastating effects. view study Read Less

Learning and memory deficits are quite often send following injuries or degenerative disorders of the brain, but now are increasingly becoming a major concern for our aging population. This study focuses on the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for both of these groups of individuals, particularly the ones with 'aging' brains. These beneficial effects were found to be through a combination of positive findings including a reduction in both brain oxidation and inflammation, while also being able to effectively regulate aging-related gene expression. These combined physiological benefits were able to cause a significant reversal in the learning and memory deficits normally observed in aging <view study> Read Less

Cystatin C is a bio marker that is becoming a hot topic in neurology, particularly in its ability to predict new-onset or deteriorating cardiovascular disease. Researchers found that preconditioning the brain with hyperbaric oxygen therapy produces helps to protect the brain (neuroprotection), while positively improving the levels of Cystatin C during injury. They published these findings in the journal of "Stroke" 2017 <view study> Read Less
