Summary

This study tested whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help adults with PTSD.

Researchers used brain scans and questionnaires to see if the therapy could improve blood flow to the brain and reduce symptoms like intrusive thoughts and nightmares.
