The Transformative Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) at 2.0 ATA for Long COVID Recovery
Long COVID-19, or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), has left many individuals grappling with persistent symptoms long after their initial recovery. From fatigue and cognitive decline to inflammation and respiratory challenges, the effects can be debilitating. At ETHR LAB in Oakbrook Terrace, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)at a targeted pressure of 2.0 ATA, a scientifically proven protocol to support recovery and resilience for Long COVID patients in the Chicago suburbs.
Study 1: HBOT’s Immediate and Long-Term Benefits
Roughly 15.1% of individuals experience Long COVID symptoms three months after a severe SARS-CoV-2 infection, with many symptoms persisting for over a year. Common complaints include fatigue, mood changes, cognitive dysfunction, respiratory issues, headaches, gastrointestinal discomfort, and sleep disturbances.
Treatment options are often limited to symptom management, but HBOT has emerged as a groundbreaking therapy. In one study, 18 patients aged 18-90 underwent 10 HBOT sessions at 2.0 ATA over a short period. When reassessed three months later, the results showed:
- Improved Energy Levels: Participants reported increased vitality and reduced fatigue.
- Enhanced Cognitive Function: Improvements in focus, attention, and information processing.
- Better Emotional Stability: Reduced mood swings and improved social interactions.
- Improved Physical Stamina: Greater ability to perform daily activities with ease.
This evidence highlights HBOT at 2.0 ATA as a powerful tool for addressing both immediate and long-term effects of Long COVID.
Study 2: Anti-Inflammatory Impact of HBOT
Inflammation plays a significant role in the symptoms of Long COVID, contributing to chronic fatigue, joint pain, and brain fog. In this study, five participants, including three professional athletes, underwent 30 HBOT sessions at 2.0 ATA. The findings demonstrated:
- Reduction in Inflammatory Biomarkers: A marked decrease in markers associated with chronic inflammation.
- Faster Recovery for Athletes: Improved performance and quicker recovery post-treatment.
- Enhanced Well-Being: Patients reported relief from persistent symptoms like fatigue and body aches.
These results confirm the anti-inflammatory benefits of HBOT, making it an essential treatment for Long COVID patients across all activity levels.
Why 2.0 ATA at ETHR LAB?
The 2.0 ATA protocol is widely recognized for its effectiveness in increasing oxygen delivery, promoting tissue repair, and reducing inflammation. At ETHR LAB, our hyperbaric oxygen chambers are specifically calibrated to this pressure to maximize therapeutic outcomes for Long COVID recovery.
Our protocols are designed to:
- Deliver oxygen more efficiently to damaged tissues.
- Stimulate new blood vessel growth (angiogenesis) for improved healing.
- Enhance immune function to combat inflammation and infection.
- Support collagen synthesis for tissue repair and recovery.
Amplify Recovery with NanoVi Therapy
For optimal results, we recommend pairing HBOT with NanoVi Oxidative Stress Therapy. NanoVi complements HBOT by addressing the oxidative stress generated during hyperbaric dives, promoting cellular repair and enhancing recovery. Together, these therapies work synergistically to reduce fatigue, restore energy, and accelerate healing for Long COVID patients.
