06 Oct Fibromyalgia
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is known to stimulate significant anti-inflammatory effects in certain conditions and pathologies. Studies show that HBOT can improve the symptoms and quality of life of fibromyalgia patients. This is done by inducing neuro-plasticity, the brains ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, and rectifying abnormal brain activity in the pain related areas. HBOT achieves this by decreasing the activity of hyperactive regions and increasing the activity in the underactive region in the brain. HBOT increases oxygen concentration, which in turn affects the brain metabolism and supporting cells of the nervous system, reforming abnormal brain activity.
