It\u2019s biological, not psychological, so it represents something fresh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report said that\u00a0Doenyas-Barak indicated that the test subjects showed significant improvement in both reported symptoms that are used to diagnose the illness and in brain scans.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the diagnostic scale, by the end of the therapy course, half of those treated were no longer considered to have PTSD,\u201d the report added. \u201cThe therapy is thought to work by increasing the plasticity of the brain, which enables wounds in the brain tissue to heal.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Jerusalem Post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jpost.com\/health-and-wellness\/article-698327\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>The patients for the study were men ages 25-60 with combat-associated PTSD that had lasted for at least four years. They arrived at the study through referrals by their psychiatrist or psychotherapist or applied after seeing advertisements that were posted in social media groups. They were then filtered according to requirements posed in a questionnaire until the researchers had a group that fit their requirements.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>After being selected, the patients were put through a series of examinations and then split randomly into treatment and control groups. The patients in the treatment group continued with their therapy from before the study and were given 60 daily sessions of HBOT five days a week. The patients in the control group continued with their therapy but did not undergo HBOT.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>After three months, the patients underwent a series of tests to determine whether they had improved. The HBOT group showed significant improvements over the control group in multiple tests.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cToday we understand that treatment-resistant PTSD is caused by a biological wound in brain tissues, which obstructs attempts at psychological and psychiatric treatments,\u201d Professor Shai Efrati, who participated in leading the research, said.\u00a0\u201cWith the new HBOT protocols, we can activate mechanisms that repair the wounded brain tissue. The treatment induces reactivation and proliferation of stem cells, as well as generation of new blood vessels and increased brain activity, ultimately restoring the functionality of the wounded tissues. Our study paves the way to a better understanding of the connection between mind and body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire\u2019s first original film, Shut In, has made its cinematic debut, being met with rave reviews.
