How much time between each session? A day?
Yep, one session per day :)
HBOT is a widely used 'alternative' treatment for other neurological conditions. It's controversial, in part because there are very good reasons that it can cause neurological damage. This study is NOT a reason for anyone to run out and get HBOT. Even if the effect is real (and I don't think the study has enough info to draw than conclusion), you would need much larger trials to balance benefits and side effects.

I'm currently using it to treat long covid brain fog, out of interest, what are these reasons?
What do you mean by "back to back sessions"? How many sessions are we talking about here? What happens between one session and the next?
5 session of 90 minutes, then a 2 day break. Rinse and repeat. It's a navy diving protocol.
What’s the long-term plan? Is there a point where you wean off or is this a rest-of-your-life thing?
Too early to say how transient the effect is, it's very possible my symptoms return after a few weeks. There are conditions that HBOT can out right 'cure', the bends and carbon monoxide poisoning are the first to come to mind. So I don't think it's out of the question that it's effects can be permanent.
One of the causes of my symptoms will be straight up organ damage, and there's plenty of evidence HBOT speeds up the healing of tissue damage. So any progress in this area should be permanent.
I'm using 2.4ATA 90min back to back sessions to treat my covid induced brain fog, with great results.
It's the first time in a year I can think clearly. Anyone with long covid should seriously look into this as a treatment, it has some solid science behind it and is very safe, albeit expensive.
At this point I've tried 14 different drugs, not a single thing has moved the needle except this.
