DATA
ANALYSES FROM DR CHADHA ON HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY FOR CP, STROKE, TRAUMATIC
BRAIN INJURY AND MS.
Dr
Chadha has one of the largest practice in North America of treating
kids with HBOT for Cerebral Palsy, Developmental Delay, Brain injury
and stroke.
Today
Dr Chadha is going to analyze over 60 patients on whom he has
collected data post HBO Therapy so far. The patients will be
presented one by one ,any one interested to know more details can
contact him privately by Email or his cell Phone # 613-265-1233
ANALYSIS OF
APPROXIMATELY OVER 20,000 DIVES
Following are the POSITIVE
RESULTS
Better fine motor
skills.
Better gross motor
skills
Improved speech and
vocalization
Improved tone and
decreased spasticity.
"Easy to look
after the child" were the comments of many moms
Following were the
NEGATIVE RESULTS encountered in 20,000 sessions (dives)
Redness of the ear
drums more so in the parents than children. This responded to a
course of antibiotic and an Advil sinus or Tylenol sinus taken one
hour before the session. Very rarely I had to stop the dive because
the parents could
not handle it because
of the discomfort, the rest period lasted for a day or two.
The kids for
the most part tolerated the procedure very well, the only time we
gave them a rest is when they were not feeling well. There was an
occasional redness of the ear drum which was successfully treated
with antibiotics and or a decongestant.
Presentation
of data so far analyzed.
Random
Overall
positive results.
No
major negative results. |

at home improved for example can sit in the toilet for 5-6
minutes with out any distraction.
- Things in the room
of the child are kept in an organized way.
