ABSTRACT: A 60-year-old female with post-concussion syndrome (PCS) presented with persistent cognitive deficits and functional limitations following a slip and fall. She underwent a multimodal therapeutic protocol including hyperbaric therapy (HBT), photobiomodulation (PBM), and molecular hydrogen (MH) therapy over 10 sessions. Pre- and post-treatment assessments demonstrated significant improvements in cognitive function and neurophysiological markers, as evidenced by WAVi EEG and Trail Making Test (TMT) results. This case highlights the potential of a non-invasive, multimodal therapeutic approach to address persistent post-concussion symptoms, an area with limited effective interventions. Findings suggest that integrating these therapies into standard rehabilitation protocols may enhance recovery trajectories, particularly for patients with persistent cognitive symptoms. This case report explores the clinical course, treatment efficacy, and the potential for combining these therapies in addressing complex neurological recovery.
