Why HBOT? There are much faster and easier ways to get extra oxygen to stroke patients. But I guess your incompetent? doctor doesn't know of them!
Why do HBOT when there are vastly simpler, cheaper and less risky ways to increase oxygen uptake?
I can't see any use for HBOT unless it's delivered in the first week and there are vastly easier options for delivering oxygen than that.
Google this for risks: hyperbaric oxygen therapy deaths.

Well, since this has been around for years why the hell doesn't someone actually do human testing and create protocols on stroke recovery?
Earlier research has this line:The drug, which is cheaply available for just $0.16 a day, works by boosting the number of oxygen molecules released into a cell, which in turn seems to benefit the robustness and longevity of the body’s basic building blocks. (This would seem to be much easier and faster than HBOT. I'm requesting this at my next stroke, my doctor won't know what hit her when I tell her how to treat me.)
If your doctor doesn't know about this s/he IS COMPLETELY FUCKING INCOMPETENT? And not creating protocols is even worse, allowing millions to billions of neurons to die because of lack of oxygen during the neuronal cascade of death!
What other protocols is your doctor using to significantly improve oxygen delivery immediately post stroke? The first hours and days? NOTHING? Then you DON'T have a functioning stroke doctor, do you?
Maybe these, why isn't your incompetent doctor already delivering these to you?

Oh, your incompetent doctor doesn't have any and doesn't fucking care about learning better ways to get you recovered! Well, fire them!

Role of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Rehabilitation of Stroke Patients: A Randomized Controlled Pilot Study

Background:
Improvement in neurological function has been reported in stroke patients after hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) administration. Although the majority of spontaneous neurological recovery occurs within the first 90 days poststroke, HBOT may further augment this recovery process. This study aimed to evaluate the role of HBOT in improving neurological function and quality of life (QoL) in stroke patients.
Materials and Methods:
This randomized controlled pilot study involved 30 patients who experienced an ischemic stroke 3–6 months before enrollment, randomly assigned to two groups: Group H (n = 15), which received 24 sessions of HBOT along with conventional physiotherapy and Group C (n = 15), which received only conventional physiotherapy. The primary outcome was the change in motor function, assessed using the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS). The secondary outcomes included the changes in cognitive function, evaluated with the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), and QoL, measured using the Short Form-36 questionnaire.
Results:
Following HBOT, there was a significant improvement in the NIHSS score from a baseline of (7.27 ± 2.71) to (5.46 ± 2.47) and in the MMSE from a baseline of (24.8 ± 2.98) to (26.73 ± 1.90). Similar improvements were also observed in Group C after the intervention compared to baseline. Group H showed significant improvement in the SF-36 questionnaire except for bodily pain and vitality, while Group C showed no significant change.
Conclusion:
Although clinical improvement in motor and cognitive function was better after giving HBOT in the 3–6 months poststroke period, the between-group comparisons postintervention were not statistically significant.
