Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury, PTSD, and Depression
This continuing medical education (CME) course delves into the therapeutic potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for chronic traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and depression. Led by Dr. Paul G. Harch, a renowned expert in hyperbaric medicine, participants will explore the historical evolution, mechanisms, and clinical applications of HBOT.
The course will cover the foundational principles of hyperbaric therapy, including the role of increased barometric pressure and elevated oxygen levels in modulating gene expression and suppression.
Through a comprehensive review of evidence-based research, attendees will gain insights into the efficacy of HBOT in treating mild traumatic brain injury, persistent post-concussion syndrome, PTSD, and secondary depression and anxiety.
Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of HBOT's bioactivity and its potential to improve patient outcomes in various neurological and psychological conditions.
