Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
What is Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) ?
Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) is a condition resulting from a sudden, violent blow or jolt to the head that disrupts normal brain function. It can range from mild, causing temporary dysfunction, to severe, leading to long-term cognitive impairment or even coma. Symptoms may include headaches, confusion, memory loss, and changes in mood or consciousness. Treatment varies based on the severity of the injury, and rehabilitation plays a crucial role in the recovery process.
Active Clinic: Elevating Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
At Active Clinic, we recognise the unique challenges posed by Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and the profound impact it can have on individuals and their families. In our commitment to innovative and evidence-based care, we introduce Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a potential therapeutic approach to enhance the recovery journey for those affected by TBI.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works for TBI:
HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, allowing the blood to carry higher levels of oxygen to the brain. This increased oxygenation may enhance cellular repair and support the recovery of brain tissue affected by TBI.
Scientific Reference: Journal of Neurotrauma, 2017
TBI often triggers inflammation in the brain. HBOT has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, potentially reducing neuroinflammation and minimising secondary damage.
Scientific Reference: Medical Gas Research, 2017
Research suggests that HBOT may promote neurogenesis (the formation of new neurons) and stimulate repair mechanisms, contributing to functional recovery after TBI.

Common Causes of Traumatic Brain Injury:
Falls: Accidental falls, especially among the elderly, can result in TBIs.
Motor Vehicle Accidents: Collisions and accidents involving vehicles can lead to head injuries.
Sports Injuries: High-impact sports or activities can increase the risk of TBIs.
Assaults: Physical assaults or violent incidents may cause traumatic brain injuries.
Workplace Accidents: Certain occupations carry a higher risk of head injuries due to accidents.
Recognising Symptoms of Traumatic Brain Injury:
Symptoms of TBI can vary widely and may include:
- Headaches or Migraine
- Memory Loss or
- Forgetfulness
- Difficulty Concentrating
- Dizziness or Balance
- Issues
- Changes in Mood or
- Behaviour
- Sensory Changes (Vision or Hearing Problems)
