Our Research

Exploring New Frontiers in Hyperbaric Medicine

At Summit Hyperbarics and Wellness, research drives everything we do. Our mission is to advance the understanding and application of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) for veterans, active-duty military, and first responders.

By collaborating with leading institutions and conducting rigorous studies, we explore HBOT's potential to treat traumatic brain injuries, post-concussive syndrome, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Our research ensures that our treatments are not only effective but also tailored to the unique needs of those we serve.

Current Research Initiatives

Pioneering Studies for Better Outcomes

Our ongoing research initiatives focus on unlocking HBOT's full potential to enhance recovery and well-being. Current projects include:

  • HBOT for Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI): Investigating how HBOT improves cognitive function, reduces inflammation, and aids recovery in individuals with TBI.
  • PTSD Symptom Management: Exploring HBOT's role in alleviating symptoms of PTSD, including better sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved quality of life.
  • Chronic Pain Recovery: Assessing how HBOT can reduce chronic pain, decrease reliance on medications, and enhance day-to-day living.
  • Integrated Care: Evaluating the combined effects of HBOT and behavioral health services on mental and emotional health.
