Summary
This study follows veterans who completed 40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for traumatic brain injury, post-concussive symptoms, or PTSD. Researchers want to see if improvements in thinking, mood, and daily function persist or even grow after treatment stops. Participants will undergo cognitive tests and questionnaires over 12 weeks to track any lasting effects.
