Summary

What Researchers Did

This review summarized the therapeutic applications and benefits of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy for various neurological conditions, including stroke, brain trauma, and other neurologic diseases.

What They Found

Researchers found that HBO therapy decreased cerebral oedema, normalized brain water content, and reduced the severity of brain infarction. It also significantly reduced intracranial pressure in migraine patients and improved motor function and spasticity in some cerebral palsy cases.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no stated Canadian connection or involvement.

Study Limitations
