In the investigator's institute there is ongoing treatment of different patients with cognitive deficits using Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). These patients undergo neuro-cognitive function computerized tests before and after treatment. The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the cognitive changes before and after HBOT in different patients populations.
Retrospective analysis of patients suffering from chronic neuro-cognitive deficits due to different conditions, treated at Sagol center for hyperbaric medicine and research, Shamir (Assaf Harofeh) Medical Center, Israel Patients included if they had at least two neurocognitive tests, before and after Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).
