Recently, a randomized controlled clinical trial that included 63 healthy older adults comparing placebo to hyperbaric oxygen therapy for 3 months revealed that the oxygen therapy appeared to induce cognitive enhancements in healthy aging adults via mechanisms involving regional changes in cerebral blood flow, as evaluated by perfusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). There was a […]
