Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Spinal Cord Injuries
Abstract: A preliminary report is presented on 10 patients with spinal cord injuries who were treated with hyperbaric oxygen. The results suggest that by supporting injured spinal cord tissue with oxygen under pressure, improvement in nerve function may occur. No...

Abstract: Ultrastructural studies of spinal cord in rats subjected to hyperbaric oxygen exposure and experimental spinal cord trauma have resulted in frequent degeneration of axons. In both experimental situations central nervous system myelinated fibers containing...
Abstract: The degree of motor recovery in sheep with a controlled contusion to the thoracic spinal cord is compared with the recovery in sheep treated with hyperbaric oxygen and confirms the results of a preliminary series previously reported. The degree of central...
Abstract: In 13 patients with compressive spinal cord lesions we performed a trial of treatment with hyperbaric oxygen (HO). This therapy was postoperatively administered when neurological deficit persisted. In order to assess the effect of each individual HO session...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation proved an effective means of hypoxia control in the central nervous system of neurosurgical patients, which manifested itself mostly in a regression of the general cerebral and focal neurological symptoms. The most striking effect of...
Abstract: The results of the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy to control the onset of paraplegia after recent spinal cord injury in sheep are described. This preliminary report suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy instituted within two hours of the injury will...
Abstract: The literature dealing with radiation myelopathy is reviewed. The following points are to be noticed:radiation myelopathy is a rare complication in the radiation therapy of extraspinal tumors, nevertheless the number of case reports is increasing during the...
Abstract: Seventy-six adult rats were exposed to 60 psig of oxygen on consecutive days until death. At autopsy, 17 of the animals segmental foci of central necrosis of the spinal cord gray matter, often associated with small ball- and flame-shaped hemorrhages in...
