Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is one of the safe, alternative therapies the BART Foundation believes may help brain injury survivors. One way we fulfill our mission is by carefully watching global research and clinical trial outcomes and sharing that information in user-friendly language with the TBI/ABI community. Perhaps if HBOT becomes more widely accepted as a treatment option, TBI/ABI survivors will be able to gain better access to this life-changing treatment.
Dr. Joe Maroon is a neurosurgeon, a decades-long physician for the National Football League’s Pittsburgh Steelers, a triathlete, a researcher, and a user of HBOT. In this video, he explores the Mechanisms of Action when HBOT is used to help heal brain wounds caused by TBI/PTSD, concussion, post-concussion syndrome, and other injuries to the brain.
We encourage everyone to watch and share this 18-minute video talk.
If professional athletes in both the National Football League and National Hockey League are already using HBOT to heal brain wounds, how is it that our wounded US military veterans and ordinary individuals who have incurred a TBI or PTSD are not afforded the opportunity to do the same?
