Hyperbaric oxygen therapy might improve certain physiological findings in autism.

Rossignol DA.

Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder currently affecting as many as 1 out of 166 children in the United States. Numerous studies of autistic individuals have revealed evidence of cerebral hypoperfusion, neuroinflammation and gastrointestinal inflammation, immune dysregulation, oxidative stress, relative mitochondrial dysfunction, neurotransmitter abnormalities, by

A New Treatment Modality for Fibromyalgia Syndrome: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by longstanding multifocal pain with generalized allodynia/hyperalgesia. 

There are several treatment methods but non has been specifically approaved for thie application.  We conducted a randomized controlled study to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric oxybgen (HBO) therapy in FMS. Tender points and pain threshold were assessdd before and after the first and fifteenth sessions  of therapy.  Pai was also scored on  a

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) is a medical treatment that uses pure oxygen to alleviate hypoxia, or lack of oxygen, at the cellular level.  In North America, HBO is an accepted intervention for wound healing, the bends and carbon monoxide poisoning. If everyone accepts that HBO increases oxygen at the cellular level for burns and wounds, why not in the brain too?  In Europe, China and Russia, HBO is standard treatment for neuromuscular

A 54-year-old woman with a history of bilateral central retinal vein occlusion, probably due to an inflammatory process, developed a hemispheric retinal vein occlusion with cystoid macular edema in her only seeing eye. Five months later, in the absence of improvement in vision and macular edema, she received on two occasions a 2-weekly course of twice daily 100% hyperbaric oxygen. After each course retinal leakage, as assessed by vitreous fluorophotometry, decreased from abnormal to the normal range while visual acuity improved by two lines. The possible implications are discussed.

Please note that all the above conditions and in fact all the conditions that we treat at the Hyperbaric Treatment Center are considered “off-label” use of HBOT.  This means that these conditions have not been approved by the FDA for treatment with HBOT and that insurances will not cover the cost of HBOT for these conditions.
