BRAIN WOUND UPDATE #10: AVIV Clinic Press Release: Review of Scientific Basis of HBOT for TBI

BRINGING YOU CURRENT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW TO HELP TREAT AND HEAL BRAIN WOUNDS: CONCUSSIONS, TBI, PTSD ORLANDO, Fla., Aug. 01, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Aviv Clinics, one of the most advanced brain clinics in the world, shares the results of a new comprehensive literature review that shows hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) should be recommended as an effective therapy for patients suffering with chronic mild traumatic brain injury (TBI). Chronic mild traumatic brain injury occurs when symptoms from a mild traumatic brain injury are prolonged and last for more than six months. The literature review, The efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in traumatic brain injury patients: literature review and clinical guidelines, was conducted by the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at Shamir Medical Center, Tel Aviv University and University of Pittsburgh Medical Center’s neurosurgery department, and published in the official journal of the European Society of Medicine, Medical Research Archives. The literature review evaluated articles and human clinical trials data from 1969 to April 2023 that provided detailed information on the type of HBOT treatment and clinical outcomes. The articles were categorized into acute-subacute traumatic brain injury and chronic traumatic brain injury and evaluated by HBOT experts and esteemed research leaders Dr. Shai Efrati, director of the Sagol Center and co-founder of Aviv Scientific; Dr. Amir Hadanny, chief medical officer at Aviv Scientific and chief medical research officer at the Sagol Center; and Dr. Joseph Maroon, vice chairman of the Department of Neurological Surgery at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. The literature review concluded that HBOT should be recommended for chronic traumatic brain injury for a selected group of patients suffering from prolonged post-concussion syndrome (PPCS) who have clear evidence of metabolic dysfunctional brain regions and who have been properly evaluated by standardized cognitive tests and functional brain imaging. Evidence involved in the review, including seven randomized controlled trials and six prospective studies, suggested significant improvement in cognitive function, symptoms and quality of life in patients with chronic mild traumatic brain injury. For acute moderate-severe TBI, the review concluded that HBOT may be recommended as a treatment but explained that further studies are needed to both evaluate outcomes and determine the optimal treatment protocols. Evidence in the review, including nine randomized controlled trials, one meta-analysis and two prospective studies evaluating the clinical effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients suffering from acute and subacute traumatic brain injuries, showed mortality was significantly reduced but mixed results for favorable functional outcomes in survivors. “This literature review scoured an immense amount of data related to HBOT as a therapy for traumatic brain injury, and the evidence that HBOT is effective against chronic traumatic brain injury is clear,” said Dr. Amir Hadanny, Chief Medical Officer at Aviv Scientific and Chief Medical Research Officer at the Sagol Center. “When looking at the comprehensive data over a larger stretch of time, we’re seeing the quality of studies have improved, and it’s exciting to see HBOT research heading further in the right direction. Many people are dealing with symptoms of chronic traumatic brain injury, and the current rehabilitation methods are limited in their efficacy. The science behind how HBOT can be effective is evident, and there is hope for those who are suffering.” HBOT is a medical treatment in which 100% oxygen is administered at an increased environmental pressure. Aviv’s unique HBOT protocol, the hyperoxic-hypoxic paradox, fluctuates oxygen levels during treatment and is being used to repair and regenerate damaged brain tissue in several types of brain injuries including traumatic brain injury, stroke, PTSD, long COVID and age-related cognitive decline among others. Previous studies from the research team at the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research have demonstrated the efficacy of HBOT as a treatment for persistent post-concussion syndrome (PPCS), suggesting that HBOT improves cognitive function, behavioral function and quality of life in both adult and pediatric patients suffering from PPCS at the chronic stage, even years after their injury. Aviv Clinics offers an advanced treatment program with a multidisciplinary team of medical experts providing patients with top-line care and the opportunity to improve their quality of life. The Aviv Medical Program includes an in-depth assessment of the patient’s physical and neurological condition to assess the fit for the program. For patients that meet the criteria, the Aviv team will then prepare a comprehensive treatment schedule combining HBOT with personal cognitive training, and physical and dietary coaching, for a holistic approach to patient health. The HBOT sessions are conducted in state-of-the-art multiplace chambers that are comfortable, safe and allow for medical staff to accompany patients during the treatment. The elevated pressure in the HBOT chamber creates an optimal oxygenation condition, ultimately encouraging damaged brain and body tissues to regenerate and heal. The full study is available here.

We all know that oxygen is crucial for survival. But did you know it’s also vital for keeping our bones strong and healthy? When bone tissue loses its blood supply, it can lead to a debilitating condition called Avascular Necrosis (AVN), also known as osteonecrosis or bone infarction. This disease can cause severe pain and disability as the affected bone begins to collapse and die. Fortunately, there’s a promising treatment that harnesses the power of oxygen to combat this condition: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). By increasing the amount of oxygen delivered to damaged or dying bone tissue, HBOT therapy has emerged as a breakthrough in medical treatment, providing new opportunities for recovery and pain management.

Did a hard cover hyperbaric chamber today. It was MUCH stronger than the one I did in California. My ears were popping and I had to wear and oxygen mask. It was in some fancy spa. Not sure if I’ll return. It was cheaper here as well, $175 vs $250.

The red light therapy lamp that was gifted to me came in while I was away. I’m excited to try it for my body. I know a lot of people are using it for their face but I’m not sure if I’m willing to play with my face like that.

The red light therapy masks have the lights very close to your face. I’ve read that it’s good for your skin and eyes. I’ll need more medical reviewed papers for that but until then I’ll be using my red light for my body.

SERVICE MEMBER SUICIDES KEEP RISING

"Pentagon officials downplayed the significance of the 6% rise in suicides from 2022 to 2023....calling the rise not statistically significant." Military Times

The Military Times released a Report on 2023 suicide statistics released by the Pentagon. It states: "Military researchers recorded 523 suicides in 2023, the highest total since 2020. The number of active-duty troops was 363, up from 331 a year earlier. . . .The Marine Corps had the highest rate of suicide, with about 35 cases per 100,000 people in 2023. The Army was just under 33 cases per 100,000. . . . The Air Force (about 21 per 100,000) and Navy (about 19 per 100,000) saw lower rates. But all four services have seen a steady increase since 2011, when the Department began formally tracking the issue. " According to Air & Space Forces Magazine, "the Active-duty component saw a 12 percent increase from 331 deaths by suicide in 2022 to 363 in 2023." The Grey Team draws a stark comparison: "As suicide rates among returning US military veterans continue to rise, the statistics now show that it is now six times more dangerous for an American soldier to return home from war than it is for him/her to actively be engaged in combat with the enemies of our country." This is not for lack of throwing money at the problem. After the VA was negligent in using allocated funds for Suicide Prevention some years ago, they've made up for it. VA's Veteran suicide prevention initiatives include $52.5 million in grants, and a lovely "Don't Wait, Reach Out" PSA campaign by Katherine Bigelow, an award-winning director. The Budget invests $139 million within VA research programs, together with $16.6 billion within the VA Medical Care program, to increase access to quality mental healthcare and lower the cost of mental health services for veterans. SAMHSA recently awarded $232.2 million in grants for suicide prevention and behavioral health care for at-risk communities. The Pentagon hopes an “unprecedented investment” of about $261 million in the 2025 budget will help boost suicide prevention efforts. And yet: officials also could not point to evidence that past suicide prevention efforts have helped improve the situation. Part of the issue is that DoD does not always know which efforts are effective, said Dr. Timothy Hoyt, Deputy Director of the Office of Force Resiliency for the Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness. By their own admission, the government can account for spending and tracking deaths, but not for indicators that what they're doing is having the desired result: ending suicides by ending suicidal ideation and giving service members their normal lives back. Here's a stark reality: look at any of the government-sponsored programs for Suicide Prevention and you will not find any discussion about treating and healing brain wounds. The talk is almost exclusivley about "mental health and psychiatric and psychological problems, not physiological damage to the brain that is not being treated. Nor in any of the DoD or VA facilities, protocols, programs, Directorates, or standards of care will you find a discussion about how alternative therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). HBOT is scientifically proven safe and effective and used around the world to heal brain wounds, reduce/eliminate need for drugs that WARN OF SUCIDAL IDEATION, and radically diminish or eliminate PTSD-type symptoms. One troubling sign from the data is how many suicide victims sought mental health help: 67 percent had a primary care encounter in the 90 days prior to their death, 34 percent had an outpatient mental health encounter, 8 percent were discharged from an inpatient mental health facility, and 18 percent were on psychotropic medication at the time of death. Let's put this a different way: more and more money for psychological and cognitive and behavioral mental health interventions, and the suicides keep going up. And yet, little recognition that the "mental health" issues and symptoms mask underlying brain wounds that cannot be healed without increasing the amount of oxygen available to an oxygen-starved brain suffering from inflammation, reduced blood flow, and slowed functional and mental capabilities. In purely financial terms, if the government spent just half of Suicide Prevention funds on treating and healing brain wounds, they could use the other half to fully treat over 35,000 victims, actually end suicidal ideation and suicides, and give service members their lives back. The TreatNOW Report Brain Drain estimates there are 877,450 brain wounded/TBI/PTSD veterans since 9/11. The annual cost to the nation is $118.1 Billion. Continuing with the "standard of care" failed pharmacology and talk therapy treatment protocols results in an estimated Veteran re-occurring annual lifetime economic impact of $4.7 Trillion. Over the 40-year lifetime of a TBI Veteran, treating versus not treating brain wounds is less than 0.42 percent of the total impact cost to not treat all TBI Veterans. DoD and the VA need to be held accountable at least for their testimonies to Congress that they are doing everything humanly possible to end suicides. The Israeli Defense Force began years ago using HBOT to treat their brain wounded forces, as well as their citizens. Two dozen clinical trials -- including the governments own studies -- are conclusive: HBOT is safe and effective. As Congressman Greg Murphy, MD (R-NC) recently put it to CBS NEWS, ” I believe it is medical malpractice not to offer this to our Veterans.” Heal Brains. Stop Suicides. Restore Lives.

What Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and How Can It Help Athletes Perform Better

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment that helps athletes recover faster and reduce their risk of injury. In this article, you will learn about hyperbaric oxygen therapy, its uses in sports and whether it’s safe for athletes to use. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is often referred to as HBOT. It’s used mainly to treat breathing problems such as decompression sickness (the more colloquially known as the bends). This article will help you understand why hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used by athletes and what it can do for you.

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a medical procedure that uses 100% pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to get more oxygen into the body. It’s often used by divers and astronauts, but it can also help people suffering from breathing problems. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy takes place in a

hyperbaric chamber at a pressure that’s greater than the normal pressure in the air we breathe. This increased pressure allows the body to breathe through tissue that would typically be too small to accommodate air.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help people with a variety of conditions. It’s particularly useful for treating the effects of altitude on the body. The increased pressure in the chamber allows the body to breathe normally at high altitude.

Why Athletes Use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

There are many reasons why athletes use hyperbaric oxygen therapy, but the most common one is to speed up the healing process. When you have an injury, your body needs oxygen to heal the tissue. By breathing in pure oxygen, you can increase the amount of oxygen in your blood, which can help the healing process.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also help reduce inflammation, which can be helpful if you have an injury that is causing swelling. By reducing the inflammation, you can reduce the pain and help the injury heal more quickly.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can also help improve your stamina and endurance. If you are an athlete who trains hard, your body can become oxygen deprived, which can lead to fatigue and reduced performance. By breathing in pure oxygen, you can help your body recover from the oxygen deprivation and improve your stamina and endurance.

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works?

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by exposing the body to pure oxygen at high pressure. This increases the amount of oxygen in the bloodstream, which improves healing time and accelerates recovery from injury.

The first step in hyperbaric oxygen therapy is for the patient to enter an enclosed chamber that is filled with pure, pressurized oxygen. The chamber has a person-sized opening where they will sit or lie down on their back during treatments. The patient will wear earplugs or headphones and eye protection while they are inside the chamber so they don’t have any distractions while receiving treatment.

Safety Measures while Using HBOT

While HBOT is generally safe, there are a few risks and side effects that you should be aware of. First, if you have a cold or sinus infection, the increased pressure can cause pain and discomfort. Second, if you have claustrophobia, you may find it difficult to stay in the chamber for the duration of the treatment. Finally, some people experience minor side effects such as dizziness, ear pain, and nausea.

If you are interested in HBOT, be sure to discuss all of the potential risks and side effects with your doctor to make sure it is the right treatment for you.
