Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers investigated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on 20 patients with severe brain damage.

What They Found

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy led to a more rapid return of consciousness and shorter soporous and comatose states. Korsakoff syndrome-like disorders showed an abortive development, lasting 4 to 7 days, and delirious states cleared after the first session.

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

A significant limitation of this study is its small sample size of 20 patients and the apparent lack of a control group.
