ENHANCED RECOVERY OF BRAIN INJURY WITH HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY: A Summary
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a major cause of disability and death world-wide. According to the CDC, 30% of all injury deaths are caused by traumatic brain injury. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been demonstrated to enhance recovery from TBI effect brain activity by reducing the hypoxia and neuroinflammation effects of TBI while increasing circulation in the brain.
Enhanced neurological repair and regeneration with HBOT:
· Reduces the effects of hypoxia and inflammation of the brain
· Promotes neurogenesis
· Enhances stem cell mobilization and proliferation
· Increases damaged tissue recovery
· Stimulates neuroplasticity
· Induces remyelination
· Augments concussion recovery
HBOT also improves overall function from the effects of a traumatic brain injury:
· Advances cognitive function
· Improves gross/fine motor skills
· Enhances speech and language
· Alleviates spasticity
· Lessens frequency of seizures
· Stimulates better eye contact
· Improves balance and walking
