India. Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) in Autism explained in brief.

1. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provides an optimal environment to assist in the regeneration of brain tissue. The therapy increases cerebral blood flow increasing the oxygen delivered to the brain, which is thought to be oxygen deficient. 

The increased oxygen stimulates cerebral tissue and reduces excess fluids and swelling in brain which aids neurological function.

2. Studies support the notion that some individuals with Autism manifest neuro-inflammation, immune dysregulation and/or gastrointestinal inflammation. Treatment with HBOT have potent anti-inflammatory properties and the benefits of reducing inflammation via hyperbaric oxygen therapy are immediate, as well as long term. 

Reduced inflammation increases healing, reduces pain, increases function of cells and tissue and improves the immune system.

3. Research has implicated mitochondrial dysfunction in Autism. Mitochondria are the organelles that generate energy for the cell, they are found in every cell of the human body (except red blood cells) and convert the energy of food molecules into the energy that powers most cell functions.

Studies have reported improvements in mitochondrial function leading to a recent increase in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a treatment.

4. Multiple studies have reported evidence of oxidative stress in children with Autism. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen and are formed as a natural byproduct of the normal metabolism of oxygen and have important roles in cell signaling and homeostasis. However, during times of environmental stress, these ROS levels can increase dramatically. This may result in significant damage to cell structures which is known as oxidative stress.

HBOT has been shown to up-regulate the production of antioxidant enzymes. This increase in antioxidant enzyme levels can protect against damage caused by ROS.

5. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy assists in the metabolism of heavy metal removal and is used as a complementary therapy for the treatment of heavy metal detox.

It is often used in conjunction with other detox procedures to help support the body to deal with the impact commonly seen in the removal of heavy metals, mercury, toxins, and other contaminants.

The rationale:

HBOT for autism is that the treatments increase cerebral blood flow, thereby delivering oxygen to areas of the brain which are thought to be hypoxic. Greater amounts of blood and oxygen stimulate cerebral tissues and aid in recovery  damaged neurons.  HBOT also reduces swelling of brain tissues which aid in neurological function.

Children undergoing hyperbaric oxygen therapy must be accompanied by parent or other responsible adults.  The usual course of oxygen therapy is once daily, five days a week for eight weeks.  More treatments may be required if significant improvements are evident in an individual.

Our Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) chamber is hard aluminum, 1.5 ATA  that can be installed in a pleasant, comfortable setting and can accommodate a child and caretaker.

Reference:

HBOT at the pressures commonly used in children with ASD up to 1.5 atm has been reported to improve cerebral perfusion, decrease markers of inflammation and not worsen oxidative stress markers.
