Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

[9thwave]

Hi , as someone who started to experience tonic clonic seizures around 5 years ago I was prescribed Levetiracetam ( Keppra) which largely controls my seizures. However, drug treatment aside I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has had any experience of HBO therapy in relation to the treatment of epilepsy? Thanks in advance for any info 🙏

Hi

I hope you hear from others on this platform, as sharing information and experiences can be a good idea.

We don’t have any information on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy as a treatment for epilepsy.

Can I just check you also know about our other services?

We have our Talk and Support groups (epilepsy.org.uk/support-for-you/talk-and-support-virtual-groups) and befriending service (epilepsy.org.uk/support-for-you/epilepsy-befriending).

Some of our talk and support groups are for women only and a great place to chat to others about their experiences of hormones affecting their epilepsy.

We also have a membership offer which is designed to help people stay up to date with all the latest epilepsy news, views and research: epilepsy.org.uk/involved/join

Finally, if you think it may be helpful to speak to one of our advisers in more detail you can contact us by live chat or the Epilepsy Action Helpline freephone 0808 800 5050. Our helpline is open Monday to Friday 8.30am until 5.00pm and Saturday 10.00am until 4.00pm: epilepsy.org.uk/support-for-you/the-epilepsy-action-helpline
