Benefits
According to one study, after a total of 40 sessions, one female patient is said to have experienced the following: “reported increased memory and concentration, sleep, conversation, appetite, ability to use the computer, more good days (5/7) than bad days, resolved anxiety, and decreased disorientation and frustration. Tremor, deep knee bend, tandem gain, and motor speed were improved.”
Suggested benefits of HBOT can include:
- Decreased memory loss
- Assists in forming new blood vessels
- Improved wound healing/recovery
- Improved blood flow (particularly to the brain)
- Injury repair (delivers oxygen)
- Hematopoietic and Mesenchymal Stem Cell Mobilization

Hyperbaric Chamber for Memory Loss: Memory loss impacts millions. Most notably, those who suffer memory loss are individuals who have been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.
According to the National Institute on Aging: “In Alzheimer’s disease, as neurons are injured and die throughout the brain, connections between networks of neurons may break down, and many brain regions begin to shrink. By the final stages of Alzheimer’s, this process — called brain atrophy — is widespread, causing significant loss of brain volume.”
Essentially, when the brain shrinks, it also impacts the specific part of the brain known to influence memory, which is the hippocampus. When the hippocampus begins to shrink and essentially wither, it can cause forgetfulness, memory loss, confusion, difficulty recognizing others, and more.
Other than Alzheimer’s, reasons for memory loss can include the following:
- Nutritional deficiencies
- Head trauma or injury
- Different kinds of prescriptions/medications
- Alcohol
Depression as well as stress and anxiety have also been linked to memory loss. How does using a hyperbaric chamber for memory loss work?
HBOT delivers oxygen throughout the body, including to the brain. This can help provide an individual with improved and increased focus and lucidity. It is also known to increase the brain’s metabolic functions or rate.

“The brain stores little energy as glycogen and relies almost entirely on circulating glucose for fuel. Once inside neurons, glucose is metabolized by mitochondria in a number of steps to produce cellular energy, or adenosine triphosphate. Most of the glucose consumed by the brain is used to maintain synaptic function and resting potential of neurons,” they say. “The energy requirements of different types of neurons varies. Large-projection neurons with relatively long axons are most affected by Alzheimer’s disease and these neurons generally have high energy requirements. Without sufficient energy supply, these neurons cannot function efficiently.”
