Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a specialized therapy using increased atmospheric pressure to allow the body to incorporate more oxygen into blood cells, blood plasma, cerebral-spinal fluid, and other body fluids. Original HBOT involves inhaling oxygen with high pressure (above 1.5 ATA). Recently low pressure HBOT chamber (less than 1.4 ATA) with or without additional oxygen has also been introduced due to its low cost and reduced risk factors. Studies have shown that HBOT helps tissue healing process by improving hypoperfusion (lack of circulation) in brain tissue, reducing neuroinflammation and oxidative stress, and improving stem cell mobilization and immune function.
