Multiple Sclerosis

MS is a chronic, unpredictable neurological disease that affects the central nervous system. The most common symptoms include changes in cognitive function, dizziness, emotional changes, fatigue, difficulty in walking, plasticity of muscles, and vision problems.

By breathing pure oxygen while under increased air pressure many people find relief from their symptoms and it is believed to help in the progression of the disease.  The main aim is to stabilize the patient’s condition and improve the quality of life. Many MS patients report improvements in their overall symptoms and their function ability. Patients have reported improvements with their ataxia, numbness in their fingers and hands, balance, visual fields, concentration, pain, weakness and dizziness. It has been shown that most often, improvement can be achieved in bladder-bowel disorders.

A recent study sited by the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated compelling evidence of improvements in MS symptomology. Forty chronic Multiple Sclerosis patients, in the advanced stages of the disease, were treated with hyperbaric oxygen. 70% of those treated received relief from the effects of MS after the predetermined 20 study treatments.
