The effect of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on cognition, performance, proteomics, and telomere length—The difference between zero and one: A case report.
Published in Frontiers in Neurology, Volume 13.
Summary: This peer-reviewed case report highlights significant improvements in cognitive performance, biological aging (telomere length), and proteomic profiles following a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). It offers compelling clinical insights into the potential of HBOT as a wellness and longevity tool.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy enhances graft healing and mechanical properties after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: An experimental study in rabbits.
Published in Journal of Orthopaedic Research, 42(6), 1210–1222.
Summary: This experimental study in rabbits found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved graft healing and biomechanical strength after ACL reconstruction. The results suggest HBOT may offer post-surgical recovery benefits in ligament repair and sports injury rehabilitation.

Revisiting the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in knee injuries: Potential benefits and mechanisms.
Published in Journal of Cellular Physiology, 238(3), 498–512.
Summary: This 2023 review explores how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may support recovery from knee injuries by reducing inflammation, enhancing tissue repair, and improving joint function. The paper outlines potential mechanisms and highlights HBOT’s promising role in musculoskeletal rehabilitation.
