Numerous studies have shown hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) to help and enhance nerve regeneration, particularly with the sciatic nerve. This study gives more insight into the timing of HBOT, and was able to demonstrate that early intervention with HBOT was correlated with better nerve repair and recovery <view study> Read Less

Following the diagnosis of sudden hearing loss, corticosteroid therapy is typically recommended immediately with favorable results. However, for those that do not respond to this therapy, there is now hope with the addition of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This simple and safe procedure has helped in many cases of hearing loss, particularly for those that have failed with corticosteroid therapy <view study> Read Less

Cosmetic treatments like facial fillers are gaining popularity, but not without risks. One of the more serious complications following this cosmetic procedure is blindness. A case report was presented where HBOT was applied for 14 days, causing visual acuity to return back to normal. The clinical implications of this study are massive for certain groups of individuals who are at greater risk for blindness following facial fillers <view study> Read Less

Sciatic Nerve Regeneration: "The aim of the study was to determine the effect of different application timings of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) on nerve regeneration in rats" "Our results suggest that initiating HBO early after nerve repair will make a positive impact on recovery" <view study> Read Less
