Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a neurological condition that affects movement, muscle tone, and posture, often resulting from brain damage before, during, or shortly after birth. Although there is no cure, advancements in therapeutic approaches like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy...

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Cerebral Cerebral Palsy.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is safe and effective for the treatment of sleep disorders in children with cerebral palsy.
Abstract: To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy on the treatment of sleep disorders and its safety in children with cerebral palsy (CP). A total of 71 recruited children were divided into two groups based on age: group 1, aged between 2 and 4...
Mild Hyperbaric Oxygen Inhibits Growth-related Decrease in Muscle Oxidative Capacity of Rats with Metabolic Syndrome.
Abstract: We examined the effects of mild hyperbaric oxygen on the properties of the soleus muscle in rats with metabolic syndrome. Five-week-old metabolic syndrome (SHR/NDmcr-cp, cp/cp) rats were divided into normobaric (CP) and mild hyperbaric oxygen (CP-H) groups...
Micronucleus test in peripheral blood of rats treated with hyperbaric oxygen after subtotal splenectomy preserving the lower pole.
Abstract: To assess the mutagenic potential of the oxygen inhalation therapy (HBO), by means of the micronucleus test, performed in peripheral blood of rats that underwent subtotal splenectomy with lower pole preservation (ESTPI), after HBO sessions or simulations....
99mTc-ECD brain perfusion SPECT imaging for the assessment of brain perfusion in cerebral palsy (CP) patients with evaluation of the effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: The present study was carried out to evaluate cerebral perfusion in different types of cerebral palsy (CP) patients. For those patients who underwent hyperbaric oxygen therapy, brain perfusion before and after the therapy was compared. A total of 11 CP...
Unestablished indications for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
Abstract: Unestablished indications are conditions in which systematic clinical use of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) is not supported by adequate proof of benefit. HBOT is vulnerable to use in many such conditions for various reasons, perhaps the most important...
How and why hyperbaric oxygen therapy can bring new hope for children suffering from cerebral palsy–an editorial perspective.
Abstract: Efrati, Ben-Jacob, , , , , , , (). How and why hyperbaric oxygen therapy can bring new hope for children suffering from cerebral palsy--an editorial perspective. Undersea & hyperbaric medicine : journal of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society, Inc,...
Intensive rehabilitation combined with HBO2 therapy in children with cerebral palsy: a controlled longitudinal study.
Abstract: The present study aimed to assess the effect of intensive rehabilitation combined with hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy on gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP). We carried out an open, observational, platform-independent study in 150...
Can hyperbaric oxygen be used to prevent deep infections in neuro-muscular scoliosis surgery?
Abstract: The prevalence of postoperative wound infection in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis surgery is significantly higher than that in patients with other spinal surgery. Hyperbaric oxygen has been used as a supplement to treat postsurgical infections. Our...
