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

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

Some thoughts: HBO for this is not a recognized diagnosis of the Undersea Hyperbaric Medical Society, actually no neuro related conditions are. But a number of clinicians have treated neuro issues with HBO, there is some promising data with concussion studies. There is anecdotal reports that HBO may help in stroke Not to be offensive, but dead tissue is dead, and HBO will not change, but if tissue is damaged
