چکیده
Policy Issue: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are signature injuries among Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF). Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) has been used to treat certain injuries (e.g., dive-related injuries, soft tissue injuries, carbon monoxide poisoning). Recently, it has been proposed as treatment for individuals with TBI or PTSD.
