"... Efrati’s team at Shamir Medical Center’s Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research — one of the largest hyperbaric medicine clinics in the world – has found HBOT can improve brain function in some stroke, fibromyalgia and Alzheimer’s patients. ..."
Here is a new article about this subject from the same source:
From aging to chronic wounds, is hyperbaric oxygen a cure-all? High-pressure oxygen treatment can help heal any wound, whether on your skin or in your brain. Israeli experts explain its benefits and limitations.
This is an extended article, but still based on same research paper!

Are we to believe the good news? Is this just another of many claims over history to stop or even reverse the aging process? This hyperbaric oxygen treatment seems to make sense. Further research would not hurt!
However, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has a long and successful history of treating e.g. "carbon monoxide poisoning, gangrene, stubborn wounds, and infections in which tissues are starved for oxygen" (see e.g. Johns Hopkins article)
"Hyperbaric oxygen treatments can stop the aging of blood cells and even reverse the aging process in healthy aging adults, according to a recently published study from scientists at Tel Aviv University (TAU) and Shamir Medical Center.
The researchers found that a unique protocol of high-pressure oxygen treatments in a pressure chamber can reverse two major processes associated with aging: the shortening of telomeres (protective regions at both ends of every chromosome) and the accumulation of old, malfunctioning (senescent) cells. ..."
