Dr. Paul Harch Wins UHMS Award for HBOT Advancements

Dr. Paul G. Harch, internationally known for his work in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT), was honored with the Edgar End Memorial Lecture Award by the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) at the Gulf Coast Chapter’s annual meeting. This distinguished award celebrates individuals who have significantly advanced the science and clinical application of HBOT, in the spirit of Dr. Edgar End’s pioneering contributions.

Advancing HBOT for Brain Injury and PTSD

In his keynote lecture, Dr. Harch highlighted decades of research and clinical success treating patients with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) using HBOT. He presented peer-reviewed data showing that HBOT not only reduces symptoms but can improve brain function and quality of life in patients with chronic neurological conditions.

“HBOT has emerged as a powerful tool for treating brain injuries and PTSD—especially in cases where conventional treatments have failed,” said Dr. Harch. “I’m deeply honored to receive this recognition from the UHMS, and I remain committed to furthering this work.”

A Leader in Neurological Hyperbaric Medicine

Through his clinical practice, academic research, and patient advocacy, Dr. Harch continues to shape the future of HBOT, particularly for neurological conditions. His contributions have helped establish HBOT as a legitimate and effective treatment option for brain trauma, veterans with PTSD, and patients with persistent post-concussion symptoms.
