Returning veterans are frequently diagnosed with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Considering a recent case-controlled study of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) reporting a reduction in suicidal ideation, we investigated retrospectively three veterans with chronic TBI/PTSD symptoms who were treated with multiple rounds of HBOT with neurophysiological testing performed before and after treatment. Improvements were detected on parameters within neurocognitive domains, including reductions in suicide-related symptoms. These findings independently confirm that HBOT may be effective in treating specific symptoms of TBI/PTSD that are not currently addressed with existing therapeutic approaches.
归国老兵常被诊断患有创伤性脑损伤（TBI）和创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）。鉴于最近一项关于高压氧治疗（HBOT）的病例对照研究报告称，这种治疗可减少自杀意念，我们回顾性研究了 3 名患有慢性 TBI/PTSD 症状的老兵，他们接受了多轮 HBOT 治疗，并在治疗前后进行了神经生理学测试。在神经认知领域的参数上都检测到了改善，包括与自杀相关的症状减少。这些发现独立证实，HBOT 可能对治疗目前现有治疗方法无法解决的特定 TBI/PTSD 症状有效。
