Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Understanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) results from an external force causing brain dysfunction, often due to falls, vehicle accidents, or sports injuries. Symptoms range from mild concussions to severe cognitive impairments.

The Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in TBI Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which can enhance the body's natural healing processes. Research indicates that HBOT may improve cerebral blood flow and cognitive function in TBI patients.

Benefits of HBOT for TBI Patients

  • Enhanced Neuroplasticity: HBOT may stimulate the brain's ability to reorganize and form new neural connections.

  • Reduced Inflammation: Increased oxygen levels can help decrease brain inflammation.

  • Improved Cognitive Function: Patients have reported better memory, attention, and executive functions post-therapy.
