Question 1

will hyperbaric oxygen therapy help with stroke rehab?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hbot is one of the best therapies for any neurological problem. Get started as soon as possible. It has the ability to help the body heal and regrow new tissue. Continue rehab during hbot if possible. We typically use a starting pressure of 1.75ata, and you will probably need a minimum of 40 treatments, possibly more.

Question 2

please i need your help.my mom had a stroke in march. what can hyperbaric oxygen therapy do to treat patients with stroke?

Accepted Answer

Unclear: There's no conclusive evidence that hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves stroke outcome. Increasing the supply of oxygen to the parts of the brain affected by stroke may reduce the extent of irreversible damage. But this has not been proved. Too few people have been studied to say whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy decreases the chance of dying or if it offers other benefits.

Question 5

what is the best treatment for hand tremors?

Accepted Answer

Hand tremors: This depends on identifying the cause & correcting that, such as thyroid disease, parkinson disease, alcohol or drugs.

Question 6

what treatments are there for hand tremors?

Accepted Answer

Meds or surgery: The first line treatments for "essential" tremor include propanolol and primidone.  These medications reduce the symptoms to the point that the patient is better able to function but they are not curative.  In some cases, the tremor progresses to a point where the medications do not provide much help, and there are brain surgeries that may be considered at that point.

Question 7

is hyperbaric oxygen therapy effective for sports injuries?

Accepted Answer

It might: It is a very expensive trreatment but its greatest benefit is treating spinal injury asap. Read my blog "oxygen, the spark of life" you can google. Oxygen is the very root of energy metabolism and a great deal of energy is required for healing. But, like everything else, it has to be dosed. Too much oxygen is as bad as too little.

Question 8

would hyperbaric oxygen therapy be effective for brain damage linked to long-term solvent abuse?

Accepted Answer

No. The FDA lists 14: conditions for which the benefits of hyperbaric oxygen treatment outweigh its risks of painful &amp; sometimes serious consequences. It is no help whatsoever for brain damage from any cause, ADHD, Autism. The FDA requests that you report any provider who claims that it is.  See www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ConsumerUpdates/ucm364687.htm

Question 9

is it possible for hyperbaric oxygen therapy to be effective for possible brain damage linked to long term solvent abuse?

Accepted Answer

Probably not : There are very specific indications for hyperbaric oxygen. Unfortunately, brain damage from solvent abuse is not one of them.

Question 10

does hyperbaric oxygen help brain injury or stroke?

Accepted Answer

Helps breain injury: For traumatic brain injury, one randomized trial provided fair evidence that hbot might reduce mortality or the duration of coma in severely injured tbi (traumatic brain injuries) patients - but reported poor functional outcome so be cautious
for stroke - most observational studies reported favorable, and sometimes dramatic, results, but failed to prove that these results can be attributed to hbot.
