Approximately 1 billion people, of all ages, are currently affected by neurological disorders. This staggering statistical evidence illustrates the substantial impact of neurological disorders on the population worldwide. Neurological conditions in children represent a significant proportion of the global burden of disease, since they contribute to long-term disability.
These conditions can vary in terms of the impact they have on the lives of those affected. They include everything from sudden onset conditions to progressive degenerative conditions, and intermittent conditions such as epilepsy, and headache disorders.
Studies have shown how Hyperbarics has helped individuals regain neurological activity and functionality. For neurodevelopmental and neurodegenerative disorders, in addition to neurological injuries, Hyperbarics provides the brain with increased levels of oxygen to help recover/repair brain tissue, increase neuronal stem cell growth and improve cognitive functioning.
Studies have demonstrated the benefits of hyperbarics as it relates to pediatric neurology, including:
Improvement of brain functioning and performance through cerebral oxygenation, stimulating angiogenesis and thereby improving mental performance
Reducing cerebral edema, cerebral infarction and the proliferation and mobilization of neural stem cells
Decreasing the effects of neurological conditions on memory and mental functions
