According to new research patients who are suffering from the disease like Alzheimer can be cure by the this new treatment called 'hyperbaric oxygen therapy. According to American Friends of Tel Aviv University in New York researchers, this therapy has potential to correct behavioral and physical deficits associated with the disease

Lead author Uri Ashery told this revolutionary treatment for Alzheimer's disease uses a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, which has been shown in the history to be very useful in treating wounds that were slow to heal. "We have now shown for the first time that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can change the pathology of Alzheimer's disease and accurate behavioral deficits connected with the disease," Ashery continued.

The patients who undergo hyperbaric oxygen therapy for several forms breathe in pure oxygen in a pressurized room or chamber. In this chamber, the air pressure is increased to twice that of normal air. The researchers found that in patients under these conditions, oxygen solubility in the blood increases and are transported by blood vessels throughout the body.

The events proposed that the treatment decreased behavioral deficiencies compared to the non-transgenic control mice, reduced plaque pathology by 40 percent and reduced neuroinflammation by about 40 percent. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is a well-tolerated and safe therapy used in clinics around the world for various medical conditions, including neurological disorders. The study appears the journal Neurobiology of Aging.
