Long COVID Recovery with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

A Promising Therapeutic Approach for Lasting COVID-19 Symptoms

For many people, recovery from COVID-19 does not end after the initial infection. A growing number of individuals experience lingering symptoms weeks or even months after the acute phase of illness. This condition, known as Long COVID or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), can significantly impact daily life and well-being.

At Noah Clinics, we offer Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a regenerative and noninvasive option to support recovery from Long COVID. Backed by emerging research and patient experience, Oxygen Therapy offers hope for those seeking relief from the lingering effects of the virus.

Understanding Long COVID

Long COVID is generally defined as the presence of symptoms that persist beyond four weeks following a COVID-19 infection. These symptoms may include:

  • Fatigue.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Chest pain or palpitations.
  • Brain fog and cognitive issues.
  • Loss of taste or smell.
  • Muscle and joint pain.
  • Anxiety, depression, and sleep disturbances.
  • Digestive complaints.
  • Irregular heart rhythms.

While the exact cause of Long COVID is still under investigation, theories include persistent inflammation, immune dysregulation, lingering viral proteins, and small vessel clotting. These factors can affect multiple organ systems, particularly the nervous system, lungs, heart, and vascular system

How HBOT Supports Long COVID Recovery

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps deliver high levels of oxygen under controlled pressure, which promotes healing at the cellular level. For Long COVID, HBOT offers several potential benefits:

  • Reduces systemic and neurological inflammation.
  • Stimulates the formation of new blood vessels and brain synapses.
  • Enhances stem cell activation and mitochondrial function.
  • Supports repair of tissues affected by oxygen deprivation.
  • Improves endothelial function in the lungs and cardiovascular system.

By promoting oxygen delivery to areas that may be inflamed or hypoxic, HBOT may help relieve a wide range of Long COVID symptoms, from fatigue and brain fog to chest tightness and shortness of breath.

Multiple clinical studies and patient reports have shown improvement in cognitive performance, mood, pulmonary function, and overall quality of life. While research is still ongoing, HBOT is becoming recognized as one of the most promising therapies available for Long COVID today.

    HBOT improves oxygen delivery throughout the body, reduces inflammation, and supports cellular repair. These effects can help alleviate many Long COVID symptoms, including fatigue, brain fog, and respiratory difficulties.

  • What symptoms can HBOT address?

    Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy may benefit those experiencing shortness of breath, palpitations, fatigue, loss of smell or taste, sleep issues, anxiety, and cognitive impairment related to Long COVID.

  • How many sessions are typically recommended?

    Most patients benefit from a course of 20 to 40 sessions, depending on the severity of their symptoms and response to treatment. Each plan is tailored individually.

  • Is HBOT approved for Long COVID?

    While there is no official standard of care for Long COVID, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is gaining recognition in research settings and among physicians for its positive results. Clinical trials are underway to further establish their role.

  • Are there risks or side effects?

    HBOT is generally well tolerated. Some patients may experience mild ear pressure or fatigue after a session. All patients are medically evaluated before starting therapy to ensure it is safe and appropriate.
