Stroke
A stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing oxygen from traveling to brain tissue. HBOT has been shown to help prevent and treat stroke through a number of different mechanisms. HBOT can be used to precondition the brain by stimulating angiogenesis, thus producing more circulatory pathways throughout the brain and potentially decreasing the chance of stroke. This has also been shown to benefit post-stroke patients, as compromised blood flow to the affected brain tissue and its functionality are recoverable by introducing increased levels of oxygen.

Cerebral Palsy
Cerebral Palsy (CP) is a devastating childhood motor disability that affects movement, posture, and other motor skills and may result in the need for life-long care. HBOT has been shown to help ameliorate the effects of CP. Many forms of CP result from lack of oxygen to the brain at birth. The affected brain tissue, or penumbra, can be recovered or improved by introducing increased levels of oxygen, making HBOT a promising alternative for managing symptoms.
