Can hyperbaric oxygen therapy treat traumatic brain injuries?

Yes — and the research continues to grow in support of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a promising treatment for traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) and concussions.

When the brain is injured, oxygen delivery to cells becomes compromised. HBOT helps by:

• Increasing oxygen supply to brain tissues
• Reducing inflammation and swelling
• Stimulating neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to form new neural connections
• Improving cognitive clarity, memory, and focus in some patients

While results vary from person to person, many patients with TBI, post-concussion syndrome, or stroke-related symptoms experience noticeable improvements with a supervised HBOT program.
