Severe, intractable and recurrent headaches can be incapacitating, fortunately, hyperbaric oxygen therapy can provide some relief. These headaches are frequently described as pounding, throbbing headaches associated with nausea and vomiting with a tendency for bright lights, noises or noxious fumes to intensify the headache.
Frequently migraine headaches are accompanied by visual obscurations, including loss of peripheral vision, seeing flashing lights or "wavy lines." Some patients even experience numbness or weakness of an arm or leg and speech difficulty during an episode. Migraine headaches are vascular headaches that are caused by dilation of the blood vessels within the brain, causing the aforementioned discomfort. It has been very well established that HBOT therapy can abort a headache within only a few minutes simply by reducing the dilatation of the blood vessel.
