AB  - In 2014, a 26-year-old male was involved in a motor vehicle accident resulting in 
      a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). The patient sustained a closed-head left 
      temporal injury with coup contrecoup impact to the frontal region. The patient 
      underwent a left side craniotomy and was comatose for 26 days. After gaining 
      consciousness, he was discharged to a brain injury treatment center that worked 
      with physical, speech, and occupational issues. He was discharged after eight 
      months with significant speech, ambulation, spasticity, and cognitive issues as 
      well as the onset of posttraumatic epilepsy. His parents sought hyperbaric oxygen 
      treatment (HBOT) from a doctor in Louisiana. After 165 dives, the HBOT doctor 
      recommended an addition of neurofeedback (NFB) therapy. In March 2019 the patient 
      started NFB therapy intermixed with HBOT. The combination of NFB and HBOT 
      improved plasticity and functionality in the areas of injury and the correlated 
      symptoms including short-term memory, personality, language, and executive 
      function, as well as significantly reducing the incidence of seizures. Severe 
      brain injuries often leave lasting deficits with little hope for major recovery 
      and there is a need for further research into long-term, effective neurological 
      treatments for severe brain injuries. These results suggest that HBOT combined 
      with NFB may be a viable option in treating severe brain injuries and should be 
      investigated.
