The Safety and the Efficiency of Hyperbaric Oxygen in Traumatic Brain Injury

The goal of this observational study is to learn about the safety and long-term effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in participants over the age of 18 with traumatic brain injury (TBI). This is a multicenter prospective cohort study.

The main question it aims to answer are:

Does hyperbaric oxygen therapy raise independence in daily living and the ability to engage in social activities in participants with TBI when treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy during the non-acute phrase after injury? What medical problems do participants have when treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy? Whether or not participants have used hyperbaric oxygen therapy as part of their routine medical treatment for TBI during non-acute phrase after injury, they will answer online or telephone survey questions about their functional independence (including cognitive functioning, physical disability, mental status, employment and social activities) for 2 years.
