Low pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the treatment of blast-induced chronic traumatic brain injury (post-concussion syndrome) and post traumatic stress disorder
“A 25-year-old male military veteran presented with diagnoses of post-concussion syndrome and post-traumatic stress disorder three years after the loss of consciousness from an explosion in combat”
This patient underwent 39 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 1.5 ATA and the results were astounding. Not only did he show a permanent marked improvement in his post-concussive symptoms, physical exam findings, and brain blood flow, but he also experienced a complete resolution of post-traumatic stress disorder symptoms <view study>
