Conclusion:
''Hyperbaric Therapy can lead
to significant
neurological improvements in post stroke and TBI patients even
at late chronic stages.''
''The observed clinical improvements
imply that neuroplasticity can still be activated long after
damage onset in regions where there is a brain SPECT/CT (anatomy/physiology)
mismatch.''
1.3 ATA with ambient air (21%
oxygen) is not a placebo:
''In many clinical trials,
1.3 is considered as placebo; this is not placebo, it increase
the oxygen in the tissue by more than 50%. This is a dose effect.''
