Superoxide Dismutase and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Oxidative Stress and Autoimmune Disease Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition that not only causes joint pain and inflammation but also involves imbalances in the body’s oxidative stress response. One key enzyme in this process is superoxide dismutase (SOD), which helps neutralize harmful free radicals. Researchers have investigated how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) might […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Rheumatoid Arthritis: Clinico-Immunologic Insights
Exploring Oxygen Therapy in Autoimmune Care Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that causes joint inflammation, pain, and systemic immune imbalances. While drug therapy is the standard approach, it does not always provide lasting relief. For this reason, researchers have explored whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) could serve as a complementary treatment for […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment and Arthritis: Research Insights
Arthritis and the Need for New Options Arthritis affects roughly one in five adults in the United States, bringing with it chronic pain, joint inflammation, and reduced quality of life. While medications like aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid) are commonly prescribed, they can be associated with side effects, especially with long-term use. This has driven researchers to […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Reduces Anxiety: Insights from Research
Oxygen Therapy and Emotional Wellness Anxiety affects millions of people, and while traditional therapies such as counseling and medication provide relief for many, some individuals seek complementary or non-pharmaceutical options. Recent animal research suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which is already known for its physical healing benefits, may also influence anxiety-related behaviors and social […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Improve Anxiety
Exploring Oxygen Therapy and Mental Health Anxiety is one of the most common mental health conditions worldwide, and while traditional treatments such as therapy and medication can be effective, many people are interested in complementary approaches. Emerging research suggests that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), known for supporting physical healing, may also play a role in […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Demonstrates its Anti-Depressant Effects
Rethinking Depression Treatment Traditional antidepressants like Prozac have long been the frontline therapy for mood disorders. But for those with treatment-resistant depression, or depression triggered by brain injury, new research suggests there may be another path: hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). By delivering pure oxygen at higher-than-atmospheric pressure, HBOT supports cellular healing and may help regulate […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Post-Stroke Depression: What the Research Reveals
Understanding Post-Stroke Depression Post-stroke depression (PSD) is one of the most common complications following a stroke. While stroke survivors often focus on physical rehabilitation, the emotional and psychological impact can be just as challenging. Unfortunately, PSD remains widely underdiagnosed and untreated, leaving many patients without the support they need for recovery. Recent research is exploring […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Reduces Amyloid in Alzheimer’s Disease: New Research Findings
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is strongly linked to the buildup of amyloid plaques in the brain, a process that disrupts memory, thinking, and daily functioning. Vascular dysfunction and reduced cerebral blood flow (CBF) worsen this pathology by limiting oxygen delivery and creating hypoxic conditions. Researchers are now finding that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may directly reduce […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Alzheimer’s Disease: A Review of Current Research
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, affecting millions of families worldwide. While the exact mechanisms behind the condition remain unclear, researchers continue to explore innovative therapies that may slow progression and improve quality of life. One area receiving growing attention is hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). Reviewing the Evidence […]
Hyperbaric Oxygen for Alzheimer’s Disease and Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Closer Look at Emerging Research
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) are conditions that can significantly affect memory, independence, and quality of life. Traditional treatments offer limited support, leaving many families searching for complementary options. Recent studies suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may provide meaningful improvements for those experiencing cognitive decline. How HBOT Supports Brain Function […]
