Hyperbaric oxygen for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus (Review)

BackgroundThis is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 1, 2005 and previously updated in 2007 and2009.Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ISSHL) is common and has a significant effect on quality of life. Hyperbaric oxygentherapy (HBOT) may improve oxygen supply to the inner ear and result in an …

Comparative study of the effectiveness of a low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen treatment and physical exercise in women with fibromyalgia: randomized clinical trial

AbstractBackground: Fibromyalgia (FM) is characterized by chronic pain and fatigue, among other manifestations, thus advising interventions that do not aggravate these symptoms. The main  purpose of this study is to analyse the effect of low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on induced fatigue, pain, endurance and functional capacity, physical performance and cortical excitability when compared with a physical …

Neuromuscular efficiency in fibromyalgia is improved by hyperbaric oxygen therapy: looking inside muscles by means of surface electromyography

ABSTRACTObjective. Neuromuscular efficiency (NME) is impaired in fibromyalgia (FM). Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment using 100% of oxy gen through an oxygen mask. HBOT in FM induces changes in cortical excita bility and a secondary reduction in pain and muscle fatigue. However, there are still no direct data indicating changes in muscle fatigue. …

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment of fibromyalgia: a prospective observational clinical trial

ABSTRACTObjective. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a syndrome of unknown aetiology that is characterised by widespread musculo skeletal pain, fatigue and disordered sleep, and often associated with neu ropsychiatric and cognitive symptoms. Current treatment options are only par tially effective, but hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) seems to be capable of relieving some of the symptoms. The aim of …

Recovery of Repressed Memories in Fibromyalgia Patients Treated With Hyperbaric Oxygen – Case Series Presentation and Suggested Bio-Psycho-Social Mechanism

Fibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a condition considered to represent a prototype of central sensitization syndrome, characterized by chronic widespread pain and along with symptoms of fatigue, non-restorative sleep and cognitive difficulties. FMS can be induced by trauma, infection or emotional stress with cumulative evidence that dissociation is relatively frequent in FMS patients. Two randomized controlled …

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Can Diminish Fibromyalgia Syndrome – Prospective Clinical Trial

BackgroundFibromyalgia Syndrome (FMS) is a persistent and debilitating disorder estimated to impairthe quality of life of 2–4% of the population, with 9:1 female-to-male incidence ratio. FMS isan important representative example of central nervous system sensitization and is associ ated with abnormal brain activity. Key symptoms include chronic widespread pain, allodyniaand diffuse tenderness, along with fatigue …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis resistant to conventional treatments: long-term results of a case series in Japan

AbstractBackground: There is no confirmed strategy for treating painful bladder syndrome/interstitial cystitis (PBS/IC) withunclear etiology. Therefore, a pilot study was carried out to evaluate the efficacy and safety of hyperbaric oxygen(HBO) therapy in treatment-resistant PBS/IC patients.Methods: HBO treatment (2.0 ATA for 60 minutes/day × 5 days/week for 2 or 4 weeks) was performed on 11patients …

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy attenuates neuropathic hyperalgesia in rats and idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia in patients

Background: Neuropathic pain after nerve injury is severe and intrac table, and current drug and non-drug therapies offer very limited pain relief.Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) has been clinically used for protection of thenervous system after acute injury. We investigated whether HBO2 treatmentcould prevent and/or attenuate neuropathic pain in animals and in patients.Methods: Mechanical allodynia and thermal …
