Summary
The purpose of this study is to examine whether 40 hyperbaric oxygen sessions has effect on
long-term symptoms after concussion. This study will enroll 90 individuals with persistent
problems 1-5 years after a mild traumatic brain injury. These individuals will be randomized
to receive either oxygen or air in a pressurized hyperbaric chamber. Participants will
receive 40 daily hyperbaric chamber sessions.
Participants will have a series of tests and questionnaires before they begin their chamber
sessions, after they complete 40 sessions, and 12 months after they joined the study. These
tests include computer-based and pencil-and-paper questionnaires and thinking tests, brain
imaging, a neurological examination, and an eye exam. Participants will also be asked to
provide blood for future research.
