Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Post-COVID Symptoms

Introduction Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been increasingly studied as a potential intervention for Long COVID, a condition characterised by persistent symptoms such as cognitive impairment, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and pain long after the initial infection has resolved. A recent longitudinal follow-up of a randomised controlled trial, published in Scientific Reports (2024), investigated whether the benefits of HBOT for Long

HBOT for Sports-Related Concussion: Emerging Concepts in Neuro-Recovery

HBOT for sports-related concussion – current context HBOT for sports-related concussion has been examined increasingly in the regenerative medicine literature, with particular focus on brain oxygenation, secondary injury mechanisms and persistent post-concussive symptoms. Concussion is recognised as a neuro-metabolic disturbance triggered by biomechanical forces, frequently seen in collision sports such as rugby and American football. (Giza et al, 2014) Conventional

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Neuromodulatory Approach for Brain Health and Recovery

Introduction Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is emerging as a significant neuromodulatory treatment with potential applications across a range of conditions. Traditionally used for decompression sickness and wound healing, HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, which significantly increases oxygen delivery to tissues. A comprehensive review by Bin-Alamer et al. (2024) consolidates recent evidence on how this therapy appears

Exploring the Neuroprotective Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Cerebral Ischaemia

Understanding Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Cerebral Ischaemia Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and cerebral ischaemia are increasingly linked in modern research exploring brain recovery and neuroprotection. Cerebral ischaemia occurs when blood flow to part of the brain is reduced, depriving tissue of oxygen and leading to potential neuronal damage. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen at pressures greater than atmospheric

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy: A Neuromodulatory Approach for Brain Health and Recovery

Introduction Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is emerging as a significant neuromodulatory treatment with potential applications across a range of neurological and psychiatric conditions. Traditionally used for decompression sickness and wound healing, HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, which significantly increases oxygen delivery to tissues. A comprehensive review by Bin-Alamer et al. (2024) consolidates recent evidence on how

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Sports Performance

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Performance Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, allowing more oxygen to dissolve in the bloodstream and reach body tissues. This technique has been explored in sport as a way to improve recovery, support endurance, and reduce fatigue. (Slater et al, 2025) While research findings vary, interest in hyperbaric oxygen therapy performance

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and Anti-Ageing: Exploring the Potential

Understanding HBOT in Anti-Ageing Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in anti-ageing is an emerging area of interest in regenerative medicine. By delivering pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, HBOT enhances oxygen availability to tissues, potentially supporting cellular repair and slowing age-related decline. Research suggests that HBOT may influence mechanisms like telomere maintenance and oxidative stress reduction, which are linked to aging

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Support Skin Graft Success

Skin grafting is a fundamental surgical procedure used to repair skin lost to burns, trauma, or chronic wounds. While often successful, the journey to full integration of a new skin graft can be fraught with challenges like poor blood supply, infection, and tissue death. A growing body of research, including work by specialists in the field, is investigating advanced adjunctive

Protein Receptors and Chondrocyte Function in Joint Health

The Importance of Protein Receptors in Cartilage Repair Protein receptors and chondrocyte function are central to maintaining healthy joints. Chondrocytes, the only cells found in cartilage, are responsible for producing and maintaining the extracellular matrix that gives cartilage its structure and resilience. These cells rely on surface protein receptors to respond to environmental signals and initiate repair mechanisms after injury.

Human Growth Hormone and Cartilage Regeneration: Exploring the Science

Understanding the Role of HGH in Joint Repair Human Growth Hormone and cartilage regeneration is a topic gaining increasing attention in regenerative medicine. Cartilage, unlike many other tissues in the body, lacks a direct blood supply, which significantly limits its capacity to heal after injury or degeneration. This presents ongoing challenges for both patients and clinicians, especially in the context
