Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).
Abstract: Cerebral ischemia is a well-recognized contributor to high morbidity and mortality after traumatic brain injury (TBI). Standard of care treatment aims to maintain a sufficient oxygen supply to the brain by avoiding increased intracranial pressure (ICP) and...
Abstract: To investigate whether hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) can improve the recovery of motor functions in rats after suction ablation of the right sensorimotor cortex. The experimental paradigm implies the following groups: Control animals (C), Control + HBO...
Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the most devastating injuries experienced by military personnel, as well as the general population, and can result in acute and chronic complications such as cognitive impairments. Since there are currently no effective...
Abstract: To investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the activation of astrocytes and the expression of glia-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) and nerve growth factor (NGF) in the brain after traumatic brain injury (TBI). 54 male SD rats were...
Abstract: To investigate the effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on the expression of nitric oxide synthase (NOS) mRNA in cortex after acute traumatic cerebral injury, and to study the mechanism of HBO on brain injury. Acute traumatic brain injury model was...
Abstract: Inflammation, angiogenesis, neurogenesis, and gliosis are involved in traumatic brain injury (TBI). Several studies provide evidence supporting the neuroprotective effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy in TBI. The aim of this study was to ascertain...
Abstract: Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy has not been accepted as a standard therapy for traumatic brain injuries, it has been used, along with rehabilitative exercises, for traumatic brain injuries, and the standard protocol has a low risk of complications. We...
Abstract: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) related impact results in a permanent need for help in performing daily activities. Standard treatment consists of removing the cause, restore perfusion, support metabolic requirement and limit inflammatory and oxidative damage....
Abstract: The 2008 Toronto Hyperbaric Medicine Symposium was convened to discuss research into neurologic indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T). Four topics were particularly addressed: acute ischemic stroke; acute traumatic brain injury; brain radiation...
