A new approach to treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is showing promise in clinical trials.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the process of breathing in pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber to treat various physical health conditions.
Researchers in Israel have discovered it can also help treat mental health conditions, specifically combat-associated PTSD (CA-PTSD) in military veterans.

The researchers concluded that “dedicated HBOT protocol can improve PTSD symptoms of veterans with CA-PTSD.”
