Manage Chronic Fatigue Syndrome with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is a debilitating condition characterised by persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest, alongside a variety of other symptoms including cognitive difficulties and physical pain. It affects a significant number of individuals, mainly disrupting their daily routine and quality of life. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is one of many therapies that has shown to be effective in managing its symptoms.

What Are Some Symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome?
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome displays a variety of symptoms that vary in intensity, the most notable being persistent and unexplained fatigue. This fatigue typically worsens with physical or mental activity and doesn’t improve with rest. Others include sleep disturbances, memory issues, difficulty concentrating (often referred to as “brain fog”), as well as muscle pain, and headaches. Many patients also experience increased sensitivity to light, sound, and touch, along with anxiety and depression.
​
As everyone's experience with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Melbourne, Australia varies, it’s essential to tailor your therapy to manage symptoms in a better way. Their severity can fluctuate, with periods of exacerbation followed by periods of relative improvement.
While the exact cause of CFS remains unknown, several other factors are believed to contribute to its development such as viral infections, immune system dysfunctions, and hormonal imbalances. Environmental stressors and genetic predispositions may also play a role in the onset of CFS. Many researchers believe that abnormalities in brain function, particularly in the way oxygen is processed in the brain contributes to the development of CFS, resulting in cognitive impairments and prolonged fatigue.
​
Studies further suggest that chronic inflammation and poor oxygenation in tissues exacerbate the symptoms of CFS while the lack of sufficient oxygen in the brain and muscles contribute to the physical and cognitive difficulties, complicating it further.
What Causes Chronic Fatigue Syndrome in Individuals?
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Manages Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Being a non-invasive procedure, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurised environment. This increased oxygen concentration helps improve oxygen delivery to tissues, potentially relieving symptoms of CFS. By enhancing oxygen flow to the brain, HBOT alleviates cognitive dysfunction and mental fatigue, helping the individual to restore focus and clarity.
​
HBOT has also been shown to reduce inflammation, a common symptom in many CFS patients, by enhancing oxygenation at the cellular level. Regular HBOT sessions have demonstrated improvement in sleep patterns with many reporting better-quality sleep and lessened fatigue following a series of HBOT treatments, to manage the condition better.
