Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

(HBOT) At StemRx Hospital, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves placing the patient in a hyperbaric chamber where they breathe in pure oxygen under higher-than-normal pressure. This process enables the lungs to absorb more oxygen than usual, which then increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream. This enhanced oxygen supply aids in the healing process and helps address a variety of medical conditions.

Application:

HBOT at StemRx Hospital is effective in treating conditions such as neurological disorders, including Autism and Cerebral Palsy, as well as diabetic wounds, carbon monoxide poisoning, and non-healing wounds caused by radiation injury. Additionally, patients suffering from decompression sickness or certain infections can also benefit from this therapy.

Advantages:

Compared to conventional therapies, HBOT at StemRx Hospital offers several advantages. Firstly, it enhances the body's natural healing process by delivering increased oxygen to tissues. This accelerates wound healing and improves outcomes for conditions like diabetic wounds. Additionally, HBOT is non-invasive and generally well-tolerated, offering a safer alternative to surgical interventions. It also reduces the risk of infection associated with open wounds, providing a more holistic approach to treatment. Furthermore, HBOT can be particularly beneficial for patients with conditions like carbon monoxide poisoning, where conventional treatments may not be as effective in rapidly removing toxins from the body. Overall, HBOT at StemRx Hospital offers patients a cutting-edge therapeutic option with proven efficacy and minimal side effects.

Conditions Treated with HBOT at StemRx

HBOT is widely used as part of regenerative medicine and neuro-rehabilitation programs at StemRx. It is especially beneficial in the following conditions:

Neurological Disorders

  • Stroke: Improves oxygen to the brain, aiding faster recovery and cognitive restoration.
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Reduces brain inflammation and boosts neuroregeneration.
  • Multiple Sclerosis: Decreases neuroinflammation, delays progression.
  • Parkinson’s Disease: Enhances mitochondrial function and reduces symptoms.
  • Alzheimer’s Disease: Supports brain metabolism and may slow cognitive decline.

Developmental & Pediatric Disorders

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): Shown to improve behavior, speech, and sensory processing.
  • Cerebral Palsy: Enhances motor control, muscle tone, and neurological response.
  • ADHD: Helps with attention span, impulse control, and mental focus.

Chronic & Metabolic Conditions

  • Diabetic Foot Ulcers & Wound Healing: Oxygen accelerates tissue repair, reduces infection.
  • Radiation Injury: Supports tissue recovery after cancer therapy.
  • Fibromyalgia & Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Improves energy, reduces pain and fatigue.
  • Post-COVID Complications: Helps manage fatigue, breathlessness, and brain fog.

Immune & Infectious Conditions

  • Chronic Infections: Aids in fighting bacterial/viral conditions by strengthening immunity.

Orthopedic & Surgical Applications

  • Crush Injuries / Bone Healing: Enhances blood flow, reduces swelling, speeds up recovery.
  • Skin Grafts & Plastic Surgery: Improves graft acceptance and healing.
