Dr. Richard Neubauer, et al, in an article published in Neuroscience in 2002 state “An average of 70 treatments was needed to show a significant increase in cerebral blood oxygenation and metabolism in patients with chronic neurological disorders including CP, stroke, and traumatic brain injury.”  Interestingly the rate of improvement in cerebral blood oxygenation and metabolism was more profound during the last 35 HBOT services when compared to the first 35 treatments!

Other researchers published in April-June 2002 Army Med Dept re: “children with cerebral anoxic injury that serial functional measurements after 40 and 80 HBOT sessions showed continuing objective improvements including a decrease in Total time of custodial care and improved gross motor function.  Following 80 treatments children were continuing to improve and the optimum number of treatments could not be determined as it appeared further HBOT services would yield additional improvements.”
