Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for brain injury

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or tube. It is essentially breathing oxygen at greater than normal atmospheric pressures². One of the things that does in the brain is help create new capillaries so it starts building capillaries around the injured area. So we're getting new blood flow to that injured area of the brain².

There is solid evidence from brain scans that demonstrate that hyperbaric oxygen therapy does indeed increase blood flow to the brain, which could have a positive impact on recovery¹. Preclinical and clinical investigations strongly indicate that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) is physiologically active in improving the destructive processes in severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)³.
