Noah's Journey with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

This has caused Noah developmental and learning delays. His parents turned to HBOT at Baromedical Associates in Dallas, TX as a supplemental treatment and have already seen improvements for their son.

How hyperbaric oxygen therapy could help him:

• Improve brain oxygenation in damaged areas — HBOT increases oxygen levels in brain tissue, reduces energy failure, and inhibits cellular apoptosis, thereby promoting neurological recovery through regeneration of white matter and improving metabolic function via neuroplasticity activation.
• Stimulate neural stem cell growth — Animal studies have shown that HBOT can enhance the proliferation of neural stem cells and has the therapeutic potential to promote nervous system recovery after brain injury.
• Improve cognitive function — A randomized controlled trial in children found that following HBOT, there were significant increases in general cognitive scores, memory, and executive function.
• Help with behavioral and emotional symptoms — HBOT was associated with improvement in emotional scores and behavioral symptoms including hyperactivity in pediatric patients.
• Reduce brain inflammation — HBOT promotes vascular repair, enhances angiogenesis, and decreases inflammation, which are all key mechanisms in recovering from the kind of brain damage caused by meningitis.
