Treatment Programs
Stroke TreatmentStroke can be a sudden and devastating diagnosis and unfortunately standard treatments frequently give suboptimal results. Stroke treatment is one of the best researched indications for Hyperbaric Therapy which is a foundation of the Stroke protocols at our Edmonton Clinic. Select Hyperbaric Stroke treatment data: Efrati et al.(2013) - 74 chronic stroke patients treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen. Patients experienced significant neurological improvements. Schiavo (2020) - 27 chronic Stroke patients treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen. Patients demonstrated significant improvements in numerous Stroke related assessment scales. Rosario (2018) - 6 chronic Stroke patients treated with Hyperbaric Oxygen. Patients had significant improvements with cognition, gait velocity, upper limb mobility, sleep, and overall recovery. IV Treatment in Stroke: Preliminary data suggests that NAD+ can enhance recovery in stroke improving neural functional recovery. IV NAD+ is a central therapy we consider for treatment of Stroke at our Edmonton Clinic. See our entire Stroke Treatment Section Brain Injury & Concussion TreatmentAt our Edmonton clinic, Brain Injury & Concussion are amongst the most commonly sought out reasons for Hyperbaric Treatment.
Our clinic has found that incorporation of IV Therapy for Brain Injury & Concussion treatment can yield rapid results even in longstanding injury.
Select Brain Injury & Concussion treatment data: Harch (2012) - 16 patients with mild to moderate Traumatic Brain Injury and Post Concussion Syndrome were treated with 40 Hyperbaric sessions. Twelve of 15 (80%) had an improvement in the majority of their symptoms. Boussi-Gross (2013) - 56 patients with mild Traumatic Brain Injury with Post Concussion Syndrome (up to 5 years after the injury and 40 Hyperbaric sessions were given) A significant improvement was observed in all cognitive measures. Harch (2020) - 63 patients with mild Traumatic Brain Injury with Post Concussion Syndrome (up to 4.6 years after the injury) and 40 Hyperbaric sessions were given. Significant improvements in Post Concussion and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder symptoms. IV Treatment in Brain Injury: Therefore, IV NAD+ is a central therapy we consider for the treatment of Head Injury at our Edmonton Clinic in conjunction with IV Glutathione.

These effects ultimately amount to enhanced healing across different tissue types. Tissue Hyperoxygenation - Hyperoxygenation provides an oxygen rich setting for tissue metabolism. Less Edema: Hyperbaric Treatment reduces edema through its blood vessel constricting actions. Collagen Formation: Hyperbaric increases Fibroblast proliferation (the cells that make collagen). Enhanced Immune Activity: Increased Oxygenation enhances leukocytic activity (white blood cells). Antimicrobial: Hyperbaric Oxygen has an inhibitory and lethal effect on some microorganisms. Progenitor Cell Mobilization: HBOT mobilizes cells from the bone marrow. See our About Hyperbaric Oxygen Section & Hyperbaric FAQ |

About IV Therapy
100% absorption - IV Therapy is not hindered by issues with the digestive tract - IV Therapy guarantees 100% absorption of a given dose and no gastrointestinal side effects. Higher blood levels - Gastrointestinal saturation is "side-stepped" by IV Therapy and we can administer dramatically higher doses of nutrients which translates to higher blood levels. Higher cellular levels - IV Therapy provides an opportunity for deficient cells to take up nutrients in an easier fashion, and allow them to repair or restore function. Higher brain levels - As blood levels are increased, nutrient passage across the blood brain barrier increases as well which is helpful for Brain Injury such as Concussion and Stroke. Pharmacologic effects - Larger doses made available through IV Therapy allow nutrients to have pharmacologic effects, that is, effects above and beyond their normal biochemical roles. Rapid results - We have a preference for IV Therapy for our Edmonton patients because the effects are often extremely rapid which is rarely seen with other methods. |

Hyperbaric ResearchHyperbaric Oxygen has a rich history of research for many difficult to treat conditions. MS: Oriani et al (1990) studied 44 MS patients - 22 in the 100% Hyperbaric Oxygen group and 22 in the compressed normal air group for 1 month then multiple "booster" treatments over a 1 year period. In the Hyperbaric group, 14/22 reported benefits vs. 2/22 in the Hyperbaric air group reporting benefit. Stroke: Neubauer and End (1980) used Hyperbaric Oxygen in 122 patients with acute and chronic strokes. Of 79 patients chronic stroke patients who received Hyperbaric treatment 65% reported an improvement in the quality of life (5 months to 9 years after the stroke) Lyme: Texas A&M University - Lyme patients underwent up to 40 1 hour Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatments. Improvement or resolution of symptoms was observed 68/75 subjects within 3 weeks of completing treatment and effect was sustained in approximately 70 % of subjects for up to 6 years. Athletic Injury: Yagishita (2019) looked at 32 rugby players with MCL injury. The time to return to play was 31 days in the Hyperbaric group and 42 days in the non-Hyperbaric group. TBI: Harch et al. 2012 looked at 15 war veterans with TBI/Post-Concussion Syndrome and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder treated for 30 days. 12/15 subjects (80%) reported improvement in a majority of their symptoms on their prioritized symptom list after HBOT. Longevity: Hachmo 2020 looked at Telomere Length (TL) and senescence in immune cells. Telomere length of T helper, T cytotoxic, natural killer and B cells increased significantly by over 20% following HBOT. |

Top Hyperbaric Oxygen FAQ
Hyperbaric Oxygen FactsFact 1: Safety - Generally speaking, no serious complications are associated with moderate pressure Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. At TruMed our Naturopaths take Hyperbaric Safety seriously, contraindications for are assessed and precautions are taken during treatment of those with risk factors for complications Fact 2: Efficacy - The accumulated data supporting Hyperbaric Oxygen is staggering. Our website alone has dozens of studies supporting the studied and safe effects with regards to Hyperbaric Medicine and many health conditions such as Stroke, Brain Injury, Concussion, Lyme Disease, Radiation Damage and more. Efficacy in UHMS approved conditions is well founded and tremendous data is available for HBOT in non UHMS conditions. Fact 3: Synergy - Hyperbaric medicine is strongly synergistic with many Naturopathic and Functional medicine treatments. Tissue oxygen uptake and metabolism is upregulated during and for hours after Hyperbaric treatment and IV Therapy can be used to further enhance your body's chemistry. The pressure gradient is thought to "drive" therapies deeper - deeper penetration has specific applicability in nervous system damage such as Traumatic Brain Injury, Lyme, Concussion, Stroke and MS treatment. |
