Cerebral Oxygenation and the Recoverable Brain

By: Richard A. Neubauer and Phillip James Stroke is the third leading cause of death in the United States and a major source of disability. It is not only devastating to the patient and the family, but also creates a large financial drain on resources. In stroke it is often stated that most recovery takes place in the first three […]

Hyperbaric Oxygenation as an Adjunct Therapy in Strokes Due to Thrombosis

Research & Studies

By: Richard A. Neubauer, M.D. and Edgar End, M.D. A Review of 122 Patients SUMMARY Results are reported using hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) in 122 patients with strokes due to thrombosis, both acute and completed. HBO is used as adjunctive treatment and there appears to be justification for a controlled study to delineate the treatment further. The authors believe is essential […]

Management of Haemorrhagic Stroke with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy – A Case Report

Research & Studies

By: J Lim, W K Lim, T T Yeo, Y Y Sitoh, E Low, Singapore Med J 2001 ABSTRACT Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used in the treatment of cerebral ischaemia with positive effects on tissue oxygenation. We present a case of haemorrhagic stroke treated successfully with HBOT and review the literature on its role in cerebravascular disease. Click […]

Hyperbaric Oxygen for Treatment of Stroke and Traumatic Brain Injuries

Research & Studies

By: Steenblock, David A., Journal of Naturopathic Medicine, 10477837, 1998, Vol. 8, Issue 1 ABSTRACT Fifty stable, chronic stroke and traumatic brain injured (TBI) patients (mean age 62, mean duration post stroke 29 months) were treated with a combination of hyperbaric oxygen, physical therapy and EEG biofeedback for two months. Surveys given to patients or their family members showed that […]

Reversal of Residual Stroke Symptoms Using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Research & Studies

By: Morton Walker, D.P.M. More than 1000 patients who sustained cerebrovascular disease have been treated with HBOT and have shown improvement that ranges from 40 percent to 100 percent. This remarkable recovery rate, reported from a number of clinical studies, was much higher than the rate for conventional treatment methods of managing stroke. It is all the more dramatic when […]

A Brief Review of Hyperbaric Oxygen for Stroke Rehabilitation

Research & Studies

By: David A. Steenblock, M.S., D.O. Oxygen is a natural gas that is absolutely necessary for life and healing. Purified oxygen is defined as a drug but is the most natural of all drugs. Oxygen under pressure is still the same gas but is more able to penetrate into parts of the body where the arterial flow is hindered – […]
