Brain injury Improved with Hyperbaric Oxygen Chambers

" SPECT imaging showed that no change occurred in the cerebral blood flow of the six control patients during the study period. However, patients who did receive the hyperbaric oxygen therapy showed an increase in penumbral area cerebral blood flow as well as improvements to their speech and memory functions, Dr. Harch said.

The improvements in these patients peaked at 80 hyperbaric oxygen sessions. ""Individualized [hyperbaric oxygen therapy] repeats every 1 to 2 weeks appears to maintain improvement,"" Dr. Harch said.

Dr. Harch told Reuters Health that he has used hyperbaric oxygen therapy sessions to treat individual cases of stroke, cerebral palsy and multi-infarct dementia as well as near-drowning and chronic carbon monoxide poisoning patients. ""All these are patients with no other treatment options..."" who were treated 1 year after their injuries, Dr. Harch said.

Dr. Harch noted that patients with the least loss of function following injury show the greatest improvement with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. ""Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a nonspecific treatment that seems to be appropriate in many different forms of brain injury,"" he said.
