A 23 year old Migraine sufferer receives relief from Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Researchers in this study followed and documented a 23-year-old female, with an 11-year history of migraines, non-responsive to conventional drug therapies and who began a course of intensive hyperbaric therapy (40 sessions at 1.5 ATA in 8 weeks). It should be noted that previous to starting her hyperbaric therapy, her migraines were severe and would lead to significant loss of function.

By the 24th hyperbaric session, “she had only experienced a single migraine with aura but without debilitating pain. The patient stated that she never had a migraine with such little intensity prior to initiation of hyperbaric treatment and did not have to take any days off from work or school. Follow-up at the end of her 40-day treatment period revealed a highly-satisfied patient who had only experienced a single episode of a mild migraine during the entire course of treatment.” <view study>
