Did you know that around 1 in 20 people under the age of 40 years old are diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease each year?
Five patients with a history of Parkinson’s Disease (PD) were treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for 1 hour at 1.5-2.0 ATA. All 5 patients reported a decrease in tremors and an improvement in general well-being.
The patients underwent an initial course of 10 treatments and were allowed to continue treatment as needed until they perceived a plateau in benefit. The treatment benefit appeared sustained for approximately 1-5 months, and was re-established following additional HBOT. There were no complications.
HBOT may be a safe and effective treatment option for patients with PD.
