Hyperbaric oxygen


  My question is about Hyperbaric oxygen chambers. Do these have any positive effects on rejuvinating damaged brain cells after a stroke and what your opinion is on going to one for treatments of a stroke
=======================================================================
Thanks for your question.  There have been a number of clinical studies on
the potential benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on neuronal cell regeneration
particularly in spinal cord injuries, but the results are equivocal at best.
To the best of my knowledge, no such studies proved any benefits for stroke
patients.
Please look on the Archivals for a similar Q&A that I answered aproximately
2 months ago.  Search using the keyword "hyperbaric"
I hope this information is helpful.  Best of luck.
