Hi @taralallen, and welcome to the community!
I've had a look through our database but it appears that oxygen therapy for CP hasn't been discussed on this forum before. However, we'll send out a tweet and get back to you with any responses!

Hi @taralallen
About fifteen years or so ago Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) was being promoted in the UK quite heavily and Scope used to get a regular flow of queries from parents considering paying for their child to have it.
However, it is now fairly unusual that it comes up in conversation about potential interventions for children with cerebral palsy, probably due to the lack of independent evidence of it being effective.
It can be difficult to find unbiased sources of information about HBO, but personally I think this summary is useful as it is based on published research:
Hope this helps
