Israeli study shows promising results for using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to treat PTSD.

Israeli researchers have developed a hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatment that shows promise for relieving post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. In a study involving 98 Israeli army veterans, those who received HBOT showed significant improvements in brain connectivity and reductions in PTSD symptoms compared to a placebo group. The treatment involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber, potentially enhancing the body’s repair mechanisms. Further research and clinical trials are needed to confirm its efficacy and safety.
