Cerebral Palsy and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Study Seeking Participants

Scientist at Wright State University's Boonshoft School of Medicine, Kettering Medical Center and Children's Medical Center of Dayton are studying the affects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) on children with spastic cerebral palsy.

This study involves high concentrations of oxygen to be delivered to children with spastic cerebral palsy utilizing a pressurized chamber. The study is being offered at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and is free to participants as part of a federally funded project.

So far the researchers have studied 48 children; however, they are currently seeking more participants between 3 and 8 years of age.
