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 Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in TBI Recovery
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, which can enhance the body's natural healing processes. Research indicates that mHBOT may improve cerebral blood flow and cognitive function in TBI patients.
Benefits of mHBOT for TBI Patients
Enhanced Neuroplasticity: mHBOT 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.
