A New Method of Treating Brian Injured Children in a Barochamber

By: NATALIA V. KAZANTSEVA, M.D., Moscow, Russia Background: Our studies have shown that the use of lower surplus pressure values compared with traditional HBO is accomplished by an increased in the clinical effects. We have worked out new therapeutic regimens of using surplus pressure – hyperbaric treatments (HBT) in 1993 and minimized hyperbaric treatment (MHT) in 1996 leading to a […]

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 […]

Cerebral Palsy and the Brain Injuried Child

Research & Studies

By: R. A. Neubauer, MD Cerebral Palsy is a term that encompasses many etiological factors in children diagnosed in utero to age fourteen. Problems may present in utero, peri-natal, and post-natal. Infections, traumatic brain injury, near-drowning, and strokes in children suffering from neurological problems come under the heading of Cerebral Palsy. Hyperbaric oxygenation not only relieves hypoxia but also jumpstarts […]

Recent Advances in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Research & Studies

By: Tarun Sahni, S. Hukku, Madhur Jain, Arun Prasad, Rajendra Prasad, Kuldeep Singh Hyperbaric Medicine is the fascinating use of barometric pressure for delivering increased oxygen dissolved in plasma to body tissues. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is a form of treatment in which a patient breathes 100% oxygen at higher than normal atmospheric pressure that is greater than 1 atmosphere […]
