| Stroke and Hyperbaric Oxygen | | Print | |
A stroke is caused by a clot or hemorrhage of a blood vessel in the brain, causing inadequate blood flow and oxygenation to the tissues. Depending on the extent and location of the stroke symptoms of weakness, paralysis, visual disturbances, speech difficulties, and, sometimes loss of consciousness or death can occur. It is not only loss of Oxygen that causes damage/death to the Brain cells, but also the blood carries all the necessary nutrients for cellular health.
The sooner the stroke patient can get into Hyperbaric Oxygen the better. A tremendous benefit is available if the patient can get treated in the first 3 to 4 hours because HBO will stop the body’s own physiological reaction to a stroke after this time, known as the inflammatory reaction. However, data now proves that with rehab, a patient can return function to extremities as late as 50 years post stroke, since it has been found that most paralysis is learned following a stroke. This is the basis for “restraint” therapy and also the more recent use of wi computer programs effectiveness in rehabilitation of brain damage by taking advantage of “Neuroplasticity” or the Brains ability to change. This was once thought impossible! Why HBOT, when the brain has untapped potential to recover from properly guiding its Neuroplasticity? Stroke and other brain injuries cause “ischemic freeze”, according to Dr. K.A. Hossman, a condition where Brain cells surrounding dead cells are damaged but do not die. Dr. Neubauer called these “idling neurons” that in a paper he sent to The Lancet in 1990 showing SPECT Brain blood flow images of a woman severely Neurologically disabled by a stroke 14 years earlier had improved blood flow in an area of the Brain thought to have been dead after a single Hyperbaric Treatment. When you combine Hyperbaric Oxygen, with Neuro-Physical Therapy, the benefits of properly guided Neuroplasticity are realized. This is why Cralle Physical Therapy Services added HBOT to its practice through ORCCA (Oxygen Rescue Care Centers of America). Medicare covers physical therapy and if you have used your physical therapy benefits for the year, you can contact our office, to be guided on how to ask your physician to qualify you for the exceptions process. Medicare does not cover HBOT for Stroke at this time. Studies are underway to prove the cost effectiveness and incredible benefits of HBOT for stroke. We will keep you posted on the progress of studies as well as any actions taken by Medicare or other insurance companies.
