About this study

Active duty military personnel and Veterans received for 60-minute daily chamber sessions in which they received HBO2, 1.5 atmospheres absolute (ATA), or sham intervention (1.2 ATA, room air) for post concussion syndrome (PCS).

The study is to provide a rationale for the selection of outcome assessments to serve as primary and secondary endpoints for a pivotal randomized clinical trial of hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of PCS. The participants will undergo a comprehensive battery of symptom and quality of life assessments. The distribution of response, change in response over time, homogeneity of variance across subgroups, and relationships between outcome measures will be compared by treatment assignment with a cohort from a study of similar design among a normal study population.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • On active duty (TRICARE beneficiary) at the time of consent and through the 6-month visit or a Veteran, as well as Active Duty military who become Veterans after enrollment.
  • Men and women 18-65 years of age at the time of study enrollment.
  • Able to equalize middle ear pressure in a test of chamber pressure and tolerate the chamber environment.
  • Able to speak and read English, as primary language.
  • Agrees to and appears able to participate in all outcome assessments.
  • Agrees to provide blood samples for clinical lab tests.
  • Demonstrates the ability to offer informed consent and signs the study informed consent document.
  • Participants stationed or living outside the Colorado Springs/Denver, Colorado area must be willing and able to travel. A reliable companion may accompany the participant if travel supervision is required.
  • Active duty participants must obtain a letter of support from a supervisor or commanding officer prior to the outcome assessments (and travel, if necessary) to the OAC.

Participants must have a history of at least one (minimum requirement) mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) with persistent symptoms that meets all the following criteria:

  • Brain injury that occurred more than 3 months prior to baseline screening at the local site, with the most recent injury occurring no more than 5 years prior to randomization.
  • Most recent traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurred on active duty.
  • TBI was caused by non-penetrating trauma or blast exposure.
  • TBI resulted in at least one of the following at the time of injury: a period of loss of or a decreased level of consciousness (up to 30 minutes); a loss of memory for events immediately before or after the injury (up to 24 hours); or alteration in mental state at the time of the injury (becoming dazed or confused).
  • Has current complaints of TBI symptoms such as headache, dizziness, or cognitive or affective problems that score at least 3 post-concussive symptoms as assessed by the OSU TBI-ID.

  • Creatinine level that is less than or equal to the EACH laboratory's upper limit of normal. If the creatinine level exceeds the EACH laboratory's upper limit of normal, participants cannot have a CT scan due to risk of contrast dye-induced renal failure. Such participants may be randomized but must be approved by the Study Director.

Exclusion criteria

  • Active duty individuals with anticipated prolonged TAD/TDY or deployment within 6 months of study enrollment will be excluded.
  • Veterans with anticipated prolonged travel or relocation within 6 months of study enrollment will be excluded.

Treatment and study plan

Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) at 1.5 atms

Drug

The Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) at 1.5 atms (active) group (hyperbaric oxygen-chamber compressed to 1.5 atm abs and breathing 100% oxygen). Each participant should complete 40 sessions over the course of 12 weeks, one session per day, five per week.

Other names: 1.5 atms

Sham control 1.2 atms

Drug

The chamber will be compressed with air to 1.2 atm abs to simulate the active group. Participants will don a hood and breathe 21% oxygen (room air). Each participant will complete 40 sessions, one session per day, five sessions per week, within 12 weeks following randomization. Breathing air at a pressure of 1.2 atm abs is equivalent to inhaling 25% oxygen at sea level pressure (1.0 atm abs).

Other names: 1.2 atms (shame)
