The use of Hyberbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) would be a new treatment plan rather than conventional rest. If effective, this new use technology would add to the clinical treatment among mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) patients. The use of a point of care Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) biomarker would aid in clinical decision making to create a new care plan of return to sport among unarmed combat athletes who suffer from mTBI. The innovation would be a new treatment and diagnosis strategy that will protect these athletes from serious long-term sequelae. There are no published randomized controlled studies using HBOT to treat concussed athletes within one week of injury. There are no published studies using GFAP levels to predict post concussive symptoms (PCS).

Inclusion Criteria:
Exclusion Criteria:
These suspension groups are not based on GCS; therefore, GCS is not part of the inclusion criteria. This group will be divided into randomized groups, patients who will be treated with HBOT and patients who will receive the standard of care, which is rest.
