Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Presentation
Jean Crawley earlier contacted several Stroke Network members about starting a quilt group. Several showed interest. Unfortunately because of family health problems Jean was not able to continue. She is now ready to begin.
Contact Jean at JCRAW44196@aol.com if you are interested in a Stroke Network Quilting Group.
Human Engineering Research Laboratories is currently organizing a "Wheelchair Users Registry".
The Registry is an informational service that uses an interested participant's profile as a wheelchair user to qualify for approved wheelchair research studies. Anytime a wheelchair user is qualified for a study they are notified. The wheelchair user has the option to participate or decline. They may decline participation in any of the research studies, but remain an active participant in the registry and receive notification of other studies. The participant can remove their name from the registry at any time.
Interested individuals can contact the lab and receive a consent and questionnaire packet by mail. Once the consent form and questionnaire is completed, the survivor will be called to answer any questions about the registry and potential studies. The wheelchair user will be entered into the database and notified of any potential studies. All of the information is confidential and only accessible by the investigators. Individuals do not need to live in or visit Pittsburgh to participate in research, as many of the studies can be conducted by mail and telephone.

Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBOT) is a simple, powerful therapy with a wide range of applications. It saturates the entire body with oxygen, which has profound effects on every aspect of metabolism. It promotes the growth of new blood vessels, decreases swelling and inflammation, deactivates and clears out toxins and metabolic waste products, increases the body's ability to fight infections, and improves the rate of healing.
HBOT has been used to treat numerous conditons, including difficult wounds, in preparation for and recovery from surgery of any type, burns, bone infections, radiation effects, stroke, cerebral palsy, MS, head injuries and
concussion, infections of all types (Lyme's, hepatitis, etc.), heart attacks, chronic fatigue, ADD/ADHD, sports injuries, autism, migraine and other headaches, cancer, HIV, trigeminal neuralgia, Raynaud's, vascular
disease and areas of decreased circulation, Crohn's disease, fibromyalgia, decreased immune function, wellness/anti-aging, and others.
Dr. Cole will describe the indications, cautions, side effects, and methods of treatment for various conditions. He will also cover other therapies that can be used in conjunction with HBOT. Participants will be able to see state
of the art HBOT chambers and how they are used to provide treatments.
