Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Migraine & Headache Relief

What Are Migraines?

Migraines are intense, recurrent headaches often accompanied by nausea, light sensitivity, and visual disturbances. They result from neurovascular inflammation and dysregulated blood flow in the brain.

How HBOT Helps Migraine Sufferers

• Improves Cerebral Oxygenation: Delivers high concentrations of oxygen to brain tissue, counteracting hypoxic triggers.
• Reduces Neuroinflammation: Down-regulates pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with migraine pain.
• Stabilizes Vascular Tone: Normalizes blood vessel constriction and dilation cycles that precipitate attacks.
• Enhances Neurotransmitter Balance: Supports serotonin and endorphin regulation to reduce pain perception.
• Accelerates Recovery: Shortens duration and severity of acute migraine episodes when used early.

Key Benefits of HBOT for Headaches

• Decreased migraine frequency and intensity
• Reduced reliance on pain medications
• Improved quality of life and daily functioning
• Rapid relief during acute attacks (when available in emergency hyperbaric settings)

Treatment Protocols

• Session Duration: 60 minutes
• Frequency: 3 – 5 sessions per week
• Total Sessions: 10 – 20 treatments (adjust based on response)

*HBOT for migraine relief is an off-label application and should be administered under the guidance of a qualified hyperbaric medicine physician. Consult your healthcare provider to determine an appropriate protocol.
