Epilepsy is a neurological condition involving a tendency to have recurrent seizures. The seizure type, underlying cause and effects on daily life vary. Standard care may include antiseizure medication, specialist dietary treatment or other therapies selected by a neurology team.
HBOT has been discussed in older reports, but the material linked on this page does not establish it as an effective treatment for epilepsy. It should not replace prescribed seizure treatment. Oxygen at high pressure can itself provoke a seizure in some circumstances, so a seizure history and current medications require careful assessment before HBOT for any reason. The decision belongs within coordinated neurological and hyperbaric medical care.
