Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and SPECT Brain Imaging in the Treatment of Chronic Brain Injury

Refined low-pressure Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) protocols for neurological injuries.

This collection of case studies is a selective sampling of nearly 400 chronic brain injuries over the past 12 years. Original case was demented diver with residual brain decompression sickness 7 months after injury.

• Diver achieved clinical, psychometric, & functional brain imaging improvement.

Discovery then generalized to patients with:

• Alzheimer's Disease
• Autism
• Cerebral palsy
• Chronic carbon monoxide poisoning
• Chronic stroke
• Chronic traumatic brain injury
• Substance abuse
• Toxic brain injury
• 30 other neurological conditions

After demonstrating effectiveness in humans, a 1996 and 2001 animal study demonstrated the first ever improvement in chronic brain injury.

Treatment protocol developed by Dr. Harch now being used in research/clinical practices by multiple centers throughout the United States and internationally.

World-wide experience has demonstrated the generic rehabilitative potential of low pressure HBOT in chronic brain and neurological injury.
