Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Veterans with TBI, PTSD, and Post-Concussive Syndrome
This study is looking at how Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) might help veterans who have experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or post-concussive syndrome. Researchers want to see if HBOT can improve your cognitive function (thinking and memory), mental health (like depression and anxiety), and overall quality of life. You may be able to join if you are a veteran between 18 and 75 years old with a diagnosis of mTBI, PTSD, anxiety, or depression. The study will measure changes in your PTSD symptoms, cognitive abilities, and depression levels before and after HBOT sessions. The study aims to enroll 54 participants, but its current recruitment status is unclear.
- Study design
- This is an interventional study, meaning participants will receive a specific treatment. It plans to enroll 54 participants.
- What's involved
- Each Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy session will last about 95 minutes, including time for descent and 30 minutes of breathing 100% oxygen. Assessments will be done before the first session and immediately after the final session.
- Compensation
