Memory surfacing among veterans with PTSD receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy

DISCUSSION: Among individuals with PTSD, the surfacing of new memories, accompanied by emotional distress and somatic pain, is common during HBO2. The surfacing of memories sheds light on the biological effect of HBO2 on the brain sequela of PTSD. It is highly important that in treating patients for any indication, HBO2 medical teams be aware and capable of addressing memory surfacing, particularly in those with a history of trauma.PMID:38055880
