 Low Pressure Hyperbaric Therapy Effective Against Cerebral Palsy
Low pressure hyperbaric therapy is quite effective against cerebral palsy in children, according to a new study conducted in India. It thus refutes previous assumptions that 100% oxygen under higher pressure is a superior treatment.

The largest sample of children studied to assess neuro-developmental improvements focuses on a combination of standard rehabilitation therapies, such as Occupational, Physical, Speech Therapies and HBOT.

HBOT raises the oxygen molecule content in the body through oxygen-carrying blood cells and all body fluids.  A person enters a treatment chamber, and the air pressure is compressed with more molecules of air and oxygen.  Lately, HBOT has garnered much attention in the media, with athletes using it to train and recover from injuries, diabetics literally saving limbs, patients able to kill resistant bacteria, and most recently, new applications in neurology--brain injuries, traumas and disorders.

In fact, this new study out of India compares the use of various hyperbaric pressures with the use of (ambient) air alone or oxygen-enrichment in the treatment of children with Cerebral Palsy (CP).  The study shows that low pressure ambient air hyperbaric therapy (1.3 atmospheres-ATA) is as or more effective than high pressure 100% oxygen (1.5 or 1.75 ATA) in the treatment of CP.  The children were studied by Dr. Arun Mukherjee, director of the UDAAN Disabled Children's Center, a non-profit organization, recognized and aided by the Indian Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment.
