Research Supporting Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy

The FDA has approved Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy to help treat:​

  • Decompression Illness

  • Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

  • Burns (resulting from heat or fire)

  • Anemia (due to severe blood loss)

  • Some Brain and Sinus Infections

  • Skin Grafts

  • Acute Traumatic Ischemia

  • Air or Gas Embolism

  • Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections

  • Osteomyelitis (a bone marrow infection)

  • Arterial Insufficiency (low blood flow in the arteries)

  • Gas Gangrene

  • Radiation Injury

Additionally, wounds and infections that have not responded to other treatment may respond to Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). For example, it may help reduce the need for amputation in people with diabetic foot ulcers.  It can also stimulate brain function and support in the recovery from surgical procedures.
