Oxygen therapy for first responders after head injuries
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma, Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can improve thinking, mood, and overall well-being in first responders who have had a traumatic brain injury and still have symptoms. If you are a first responder dealing with ongoing brain injury symptoms, this study could help you find new ways to feel better.

This study follows veterans who previously finished a 40-session hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) program. It tracks how their memory, mood, and daily function are doing 12 weeks later, to understand long-term benefits.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help reduce long-term symptoms after a mild or moderate traumatic brain injury. It is for veterans and service members who have had a TBI at least one year ago and are still struggling with symptoms.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) helps people recover from traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can improve healing for patients starting rehabilitation.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether breathing oxygen in a pressurized chamber can improve outcomes after a severe traumatic brain injury. It is mainly for people with very low consciousness levels soon after injury, with careful safety checks.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber can help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans. It involves 60 daily sessions over 12 weeks, and aims to include both men and women.
