Patients who seek out HBOT often are facing chronic medical problems refractory to standard treatments. Many children and adults with neurological diseases and brain injury have exhausted medical treatment options.

We, at NJHBOT, adhere to strong ethical standards when using HBOT as a new alternative and non-traditional approach to neurological medical conditions. Because it is efficacious, we strongly believe it is important to provide hyperbaric therapy for investigational indications, using clear guidelines that are utilized globally for specific conditions.

Although it is not a cure, we feel that HBOT will become increasingly utilized in the USA, as the remarkable benefits are clearly apparent to more numbers of patients and their caregivers.

As of now there is no cure for brain injury, cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke, spinal cord injury, and other neurological diseases.

HBOT has demonstrated that it may improve
quality of life and may improve function in activities
of daily living for children and adults with these conditions.

Children with CP may experience a decrease in spasticity, improvement in balance, improved bladder and bowel control, less GI reflux, improvement in strabismus, enhanced “brightness” and improved speech and cognition, and an improved appetite. There have been reports of resolution or improvement in cortical blindness.

Patients with multiple sclerosis report less fatigability, improved balance, and diminished bladder spasticity.
