The brain is one of the most oxygen-hungry organs in the body, consuming roughly 20 percent of all the oxygen you breathe. After a traumatic brain injury, or TBI, swelling and damaged blood vessels can drastically reduce oxygen delivery to the affected areas of the brain. Without adequate oxygen, brain cells struggle to repair themselves and surrounding tissues can continue to deteriorate. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by flooding the body with oxygen at elevated pressure, allowing it to dissolve directly into the blood plasma and reach areas of the brain where circulation has been compromised. This enhanced oxygen delivery helps reduce inflammation, supports the repair of damaged neural pathways, and encourages the formation of new blood vessels in injured brain tissue. Many people who undergo HBOT for TBI report improvements in cognitive function, memory, focus, and overall quality of life.
