Really? Since HBOT is extremely expensive and not widely available there needs to be much simpler methods of getting extra oxygen to the brain.
Hard HBOT in a hyperbaric clinic typically costs $250 per session, or $10,000 for 40 sessions. Thus, the standard HBOT protocol costs $20,000 for 80 sessions.
Possible solutions: Obviously not vetted coming from me. Don't do them.

Hyperbaric Oxygenation in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury
PRESS RELEASE
"Hyperbaric Oxygenation in the Treatment of Traumatic Brain Injury." Chapter in the soon to be released Advancement and New Understanding in Brain Injury
By Robert L. Beckman, PhD
DOI: 10.5772/intechopen.94401
ABSTRACT.
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy can help heal brain wounds: TBI/PTSD/Concussion. Peer-reviewed positive scientific and clinical evidence in over 7500 cases demonstrates that HBOT helps heal wounded brains and returns patients to a life denied them by DOD/VA/Army that will not talk about, or even use or pay for HBOT treatment for TBI/PTSD/PCS/Concussion. Successful treatment with HBOT [40 one-hour sessions] virtually eliminates suicidal ideation, an effective "suicide prevention" method. Patients also reduce their drug intake to nearly zero and experience 50% reduction in pain and time to withdrawal. The history of HBOT for TBI is littered with bad science, but evidence-based and clinical medicine data show the safety, efficacy and cost effectiveness of HBOT as a standard of care that should be put on-label and insured.
