Hyperbaric Chamber Emerging as Possibility for Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injuries

As more and more is learned with regards to the diagnosis and treatment of traumatic brain injuries, more techniques are being tried in an attempt to help those who are suffering from these extremely difficult forms of harm.  As such, a new technique is showing promise in helping those who have suffered traumatic brain injuries move towards a faster and more complete recovery.  That treatment involves spending time in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber.

According to a recent study of American combat veterans who had suffered traumatic brain injuries that varied in their severity, including those who had been diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder as a result of their TBI ’s, patients who had spent 40 60-minute sessions over a 30-day period in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber experienced significant improvements in their recoveries.  Specifically, 92 percent of them showed improvement with memory loss and 93 percent showed improvement with their diagnosed depression among other promising signs.

Traumatic Brain Injury Statistics

Clearly, this technique has showed much in the way of promise for those who had suffered traumatic brain injuries, and hopefully this technique will result in the same level of success with civilians who are harmed in this manner.  When one looks at the statistics regarding traumatic brain injuries, it’s easy to see how beneficial any successful technique can be.  Every year, more than 50,000 people are killed by traumatic brain injuries and 85,000 suffer from long-term disabilities.
