What Researchers Did
Researchers investigated how the body's automatic functions reacted to hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in people with multiple sclerosis and those affected by the Chernobyl accident who had brain circulation problems.
What They Found
The study used heart rate variability to measure automatic body responses during HBOT sessions. It showed that individuals reacted differently to high oxygen levels, regardless of their specific health condition. This suggests that HBOT treatment plans should be chosen based on a person's individual physiological response rather than a standard approach.
