Phase 1-2 Study of Hyperbaric Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Oxygen at 1.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute). for Traumatic Brain Injury. Completed, enrolled 18 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is designed to test the hypothesis that patients with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)treated with Hyperbaric (HBO) will show improvement in function and an increased blood flow as evidenced by single-photon emission computerized tomography (SPECT) scan. Improvement is evidenced by increase in number of pixels on SPECT Scan and increased brain metabolism. Improvement may also be identified via cognitive assessments administered by Jupiter Medical Center Research Department.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Each patient will undergo 5 times-a-week Hyperbaric treatments to 1.5 ATA (atmospheres absolute) for up to 120 treatments. Treatment in hyperbaric chamber will be approximately 60 minutes. At specified intervals 40,80,120, patient will be assessed by Spect scan and cognitive assessments to provide outcome measure data. Pt will have a 3 month post treatment follow up assessment.
