Overview
Brief Summary
In the investigator's institute there is ongoing treatment of different patients with cognitive deficits using Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). These patients undergo neuro-cognitive function computerized tests before and after treatment.
The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the cognitive changes before and after HBOT in different patients populations.
Detailed Description
Retrospective analysis of patients suffering from chronic neuro-cognitive deficits due to different conditions, treated at Sagol center for hyperbaric medicine and research, Shamir (Assaf Harofeh) Medical Center, Israel Patients included if they had at least two neurocognitive tests, before and after Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). The study was approved by the institutional review board of the hospital. Patients were treated with 40-60 daily hyperbaric sessions, 5 days per week. Each session consists of 90 minutes exposure to 100% oxygen at 1.5-2 ATA.

Arms & Interventions
HBOT
Patients with chronic brain injury or cognitive complaints that have been treated with Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and underwent computerized cognitive tests before and after the treatment
Intervention: Hyperbaric Oxygen
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in neurocognitive scores
Time Frame: baseline and 12 weeks
change in scores in a computerized neuro-cognitive test, "IQ-scale" score, normalized for age and education, with mean=100 and SD=15 points in healthy population, higher score implies better results.
