Brief Summary:
Objective/Hypothesis: An eight-week course of forty low-pressure Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment's (HBOT's) can significantly improve symptoms and cognitive function in subjects with the persistent-post concussion syndrome (PPCS) of mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI).
Detailed Description:
This is a randomized prospective controlled single-blind crossover clinical trial of 1.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute) HBOT versus maintenance medication and counseling. One hundred adult subjects (50 at Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center-New Orleans and 50 at Oklahoma State University School of Medicine) with mTBI/PPCS who have been symptomatic continuously for at least six months from one or more mild traumatic brain injuries will be enrolled and randomized to either 40 HBOTs or no treatment. After the 8-week treatment period the no treatment group will be crossed over to receive 40 HBOTs.
