Healing Beyond the Surface: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for PTSD in Australian Veterans

Are you or someone you know a veteran struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)? Join us for an insightful webinar, "Healing Beyond the Surface: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for PTSD in Australian Veterans," where we’ll explore a groundbreaking clinical trial aimed at improving the lives of ex-serving members of the Australian Defence Force.

What You’ll Learn

This webinar will introduce an exciting new study taking place on the Gold Coast, investigating the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) as a treatment for PTSD. HBOT has shown promise in improving brain function, reducing symptoms of PTSD, and promoting neuroplasticity in veterans with treatment-resistant PTSD.

The study, ethically approved by the Bond University Human Research Ethics Committee (Project Number: 647-25), will compare two treatment pressures—1.5 ATA and 2 ATA—and track participants' progress using functional MRI scans and psychological questionnaires. This innovative approach aims to uncover the potential of HBOT to provide relief for veterans who may not have responded to traditional treatments.

Key Highlights

  • Presenter: Dr. Nick Bradley, an expert in the field of hyperbaric medicine.

  • Date & Time: 19 March, 7:00 PM (AEST).

  • What’s Covered:

    • Details of the upcoming clinical trial.

    • Inclusion and exclusion criteria for participants.

    • Insights into how HBOT works to improve PTSD symptoms by delivering 100% oxygen in a pressurized chamber, enhancing oxygen absorption and promoting healing

    • A chance to ask questions and engage with the research team.

Why Attend?

This is a unique opportunity to learn about a cutting-edge treatment that could transform the way PTSD is managed in Australian veterans. HBOT has been shown to improve symptoms such as intrusive thoughts, mood disturbances, and cognitive impairments, while also enhancing brain microstructure and functionality .

If you’re a veteran, a healthcare professional, or simply interested in innovative therapies, this webinar is for you.
