Traumatic brain injury and post-concussive syndrome

Head injuries rank high as a cause of death and disability in developed nations. Around 25% of these injuries are deemed severe, often leading to enduring cognitive impairments and little chance of recovery.

However, recent research highlights that hyperbaric therapy can promote brain healing in the remaining 75% of cases. Notably, even individuals suffering from long-term post-concussion syndrome have shown substantial neurological improvements, resulting in the restoration of cognitive functions.
