The statisticians and researchers and scientists and contractors and medical universe could do all the victims of brain wounds a real public service by going beyond describing the “disease” of brain wounding [starting by calling TBI/PTSD/CTE/Concussion a brain wound] and noticing the treatments that already exist to heal those wounds.

This study is the first to systematically evaluate the effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in adults with chronic longstanding neurocognitive impairments stemming from post-concussion syndrome (PCS) following childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI). Decades later, statistically significant improvements were observed across all major cognitive domains, including global cognition, memory, executive function, attention, and information processing speed.
Post-concussion syndrome (PCS) following childhood traumatic brain injury (TBI) can result in persistent cognitive impairments that extend into adulthood, yet it remains significantly underdiagnosed and undertreated. This study evaluated the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on chronic neurocognitive symptoms in adults with PCS stemming from pediatric TBI.

A stalwart group of advocates has made it their mission to raise awareness about the safety and efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for helping veterans alleviate post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI). A mission to bring HBOT to the population of veterans with brain wounds related to their military service in order to fight back against the veteran suicide epidemic, which has claimed more than 140,000 lives since 2001.

ALWAYS A RUNNER a 2-year old filly, wins the 152nd Kentucky Oaks race a day ahead of the Derby. The trainer attributed the win to the horse, the vet, and a month of Hyperbaric Oxygen treatment (HBOT) to cure a disqualifying malady.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MEMBERS OF THE ONE HUNDRED NINTH LEGISLATURE OF NEBRASKA, SECOND SESSION: That theRead more

TBI appears to compound suicide risk in veterans: those who experience TBI are 1.5 times more likely to die by suicide than veterans without TBI . . . . This is particularly concerning given the prevalence of TBI in post-9/11 veterans

There should be no excuse for doctors and medical staff in the military and professional and college and high school sports that they remain “alter-ignorant” about how to properly diagnose and heal brain wounds. Concussion and CTE are hardly back-water areas of medicine. And the science and peer-reviewed research continues to pile up that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy allows for the remission if not complete healing from brain wounds of all kinds.

“Deja vu all over again.” Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) and Concussion research and reporting is following a well-worn path that leads to lots of money for research, billions of written words in thousands of studies — and untold numbers of avoidable deaths.

CTE is a progressive neurodegenerative disease linked to repetitive head trauma, often seen in athletes, military veterans, and others exposed to repeated brain injuries. CTE might start with the first Concussion. Recent research on acute concussions by Dr Daphne Denham demonstrates brain wound healing and symptom reduction/eradication within four Hyperbaric Oxygen sessions.
