, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been used to treat various medical
conditions, including autism, as noted by El Baz et al. al (2014). This therapy
utilizes pressurized containers with higher oxygen levels, which individuals
enter and breathe for a set time. By raising pressure and oxygen levels,
hyperbaric oxygen therapy aims to boost blood flow to the brain, potentially
resulting in symptom relief. (El Baz et. al, 2014)
Pro and Con to Controversial Treatment
Although there are potential benefits to hyperbaric oxygen therapy,
including increased oxygen to cells and vessels and reduced inflammation in
the brain, there are also potential risks and side effects associated with this
treatment. Heyboer et. al (2017) discuss the possibility of ear drum
rupturing, collapsed lungs, and sinus inflammation as potential complications
of hyperbaric chamber therapy Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a
treatment that involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized environment.
Here are some pros and cons of hyperbaric therapy:
Pros of Hyperbaric Therapy:
