Summary
This study is testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can improve thinking, mood, and quality of life in veterans who have traumatic brain injury, PTSD, anxiety, or depression. Fifty-four veterans will receive multiple HBOT sessions in a pressurized chamber while breathing pure oxygen. Researchers will measure changes in memory, attention, PTSD symptoms, depression, anxiety, and overall well-being before and after treatment.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a new way to ease PTSD, depression, and cognitive problems in veterans with traumatic brain injury.
What could go wrong
This is a small Phase 2 trial with only 54 participants, so results may not apply to all veterans. The therapy is time-intensive and may not produce lasting benefits.
