Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) 1.5 in Chronic Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
Post-Concussion Syndrome (PCS) and TBI/Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
Pilot Trial
According to the Rand Report (Invisible Wounds of War, 4/2008) as many as 660,000 of the 1.5 million United States servicemen and women sent to Afghanistan and Iraq since 2001 have incurred and are now suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, or combinations of all three. The consequences of these disorders are significant and include marital discord, unemploy-ment, societal dysfunction, violence upon family members and loved ones, alcohol and drug abuse, criminal activity, and 15 suicides/day, the highest of any U.S. military conflict in history. In addition, these men and women are no longer fit for duty and are discharged from the military for a variety of reasons or medically boarded out of the military. The loss of experience and intellectual capital is expected to compromise the future of our voluntary military. The fact that there is no effective treatment for TBI and partially effective treatment for PTSD contributes to the despair of these individuals, but also severely compromises recruitment efforts, the lifeblood of the military.
In the late 1980s Drs. Harch and Van Meter in New Orleans applied a lower pressure protocol (1.5 ATA-Atmospheres Absolute) of HBOT to patients with chronic traumatic brain injury based on the successful application to divers with brain decompression sickness. In the subsequent 19 years this protocol was refined and became known as HBOT 1.5. It has been successfully applied to 70 or more patients with chronic TBI who subsequently experienced cognitive, emotional, and neurological improvements. Last year HBOT 1.5 was replicated in an animal mode of chronic TBI. Published in the 10/07 issue of Brain Research this represents the first ever improvement of chronic brain injury in animals in the history of science. It was the original protocol developed by Harch and Van Meter in 1989. In the last year HBOT 1.5 was tested in blast TBI. Five men afflicted with TBI or TBI and PTSD from brain injuries in the Afghanistan and Iraq Wars experienced significant improvement in their TBI and PTSD symptoms. In one of them the improvements were documented with psychometric testing while the other four had documentation with SPECT brain blood flow imaging.
