Curt Allen, Jr. was a 17 year old man who was involved in a high speed motor vehicle accident in June, 2004, in which he sustained severe traumatic brain injury. Curt was in a coma at the scene of the accident. He was admitted to an acute care hospital, underwent brain surgery to relieve pressure and placed in the ICU in critical condition. After one month he was transferred to a highly regarded post-acute brain injury rehabilitation center in Southeast Louisiana where he remained for 3 months. During these three months he made such minimal progress that he was discharged as a failure of standard intensive traumatic brain injury therapy. The day before discharge from this center his mother attended a local church where she asked the priest to request that the congregation pray for her son’s recovery. After the priest fulfilled this request during Mass Mrs.

Dr. Harch, a hero in the making for brain injury patients
From the Digital Journal
Sadly when it comes to obtaining this treatment governments do not currently cover the costs.New research on Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Treatment(HBOT) for TBI will be presented next week at the 8th World Congress on Brain Injury in Washington DC.
After the initial positive findings of two Airmen who were treated with HBOT after being disabled during a roadside burning were complete Dr. Harch returned to continue his study.
Fifteen symptomatic U.S. military veterans who had been diagnosed by either military or civilian neuropsychologists and neurologists for TBI from blast-induced PCS(2) or PCS/PTSD(13) took part in the second study.
Subjects completed cognitive testing, brain imaging (identical to the imaging in the online case above in Cases Journal) , symptom and quality of life questionnaires, and affective measures pre and immediately post a course of forty HBOT sessions. The sessions took place twice a day, five days a week for four weeks.
After the thirty day course of HBOT treatment the subjects all showed significant symptomatic, cognitive, and affective improvements.

Hyperbaric Therapy Offering Hope for Injured Troops
An excerpt of a top news story from KFYR-TV by Anne Kelly 11/3/2009
Oxygen Therapy is used to treat all kinds of ills and now a North Dakota radiologist is hoping it can help American troops suffering brain injuries.
Radiologist Ted Fogarty of Medcenter One is working to prove that the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy can help the injured brain heal itself. Working with a number of other researchers, including lead researcher Dr. Paul Harch of Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, Fogarty`s job is to develop visual evidence, such as images of the brain, of whether the therapy is affective.

The power and educational value of video in the medical treatment industry
An excerpt from the AMA's amednew.com article by Pamela Lewis Dolan, AMNews staff. Jan. 7, 2008
Dr. Harch has been making videos of his patients for more than 17 years as a way to track their progress. His staff uses a hand held VHS camera -- outdated by today's standards -- to record his interaction with patients after each HBOT session.

Tomorrow night (Mon. 8/3/09) on the CBS Evening News with Katie Couric there will be a special piece on a veteran that has been followed by 60 Minutes and CBS since his injury 5 years ago in Iraq. He is a double amputee with a brain injury who recently underwent HBOT in New Orleans at our clinic for his TBI. Because of the severity of his injury he was not treated under the current LSU pilot trial that I am conducting. Instead, he became one of my private patients, received the exact same protocol as the study patients, and benefited accordingly. He was so moved by his experience that he called CBS to report the latest chapter in his recovery. I have not seen the final edited segment, but believe that it highlights his plight in the military medical system. I hope it is positive.
