A study published in Scientific Reports in January 2026 found that hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved cognitive function in patients receiving treatment for idiopathic sudden hearing loss and chronic hard-to-heal wounds. Researchers at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Poland evaluated 53 patients aged 26 to 83. The cohort included 23 women and 30 men. Twenty-three patients received HBOT for…
A case report published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal in September 2025 describes a 62-year-old woman who developed osteoradionecrosis (ORN) after receiving breast radiotherapy at two different points in her life. The condition caused multiple rib fractures on her left side. Physicians successfully treated her with a combination of pharmacotherapy and hyperbaric oxygen therapy, avoiding surgery….
A pre-post cohort study has indicated that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can improve the number of retrieved oocytes and the quality of embryos in patients classified as poor ovarian responders. The research, titled “Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves oocyte yield and embryo quality in poor ovarian responders: a pre-post cohort study,” evaluated the effects of HBOT on women…
Researchers from Liuzhou Workers’ Hospital in China have identified a potential breakthrough in treating neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), a rare autoimmune disease that attacks the optic nerves and spinal cord. Their retrospective study, published in Frontiers in Neurology, demonstrates that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly reduces systemic inflammation in NMOSD patients, particularly those with higher baseline…
A retrospective study from Siriraj Hospital in Thailand has demonstrated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) significantly improves vision outcomes for patients experiencing central retinal artery occlusion when administered within 24 hours of symptom onset. The research, published in September 2025, reveals a treatment approach that more than doubles the rate of meaningful vision recovery compared to standard…
Researchers have identified a potential breakthrough in tissue repair by combining two distinct therapeutic approaches: hyperbaric oxygen therapy and exosomes. A comprehensive review published in Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology examines the synergistic effects of this combination across multiple disease models, revealing promising results that surpass either treatment used alone. The research team, led by investigators from…
Researchers at Shimane University in Japan successfully treated a complex spinal epidural abscess case using hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunctive treatment. The case, published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine in October 2025, involved a 70-year-old man whose condition failed to improve with standard surgical and antibiotic interventions alone. Dr. Yoshiaki Iwashita and colleagues from the Department of…
A study published on September 17, 2025, explores how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) provides long-term relief from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms in male veterans. Conducted by the Sagol Center for Hyperbaric Medicine and Research at Shamir Medical Center and the Department of Molecular Biology at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, the…
Researchers at Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University in Bangkok conducted a retrospective study examining 49 patients diagnosed with CRAO between October 2003 and March 2022. The study, published in Clinical Ophthalmology, compared outcomes between 17 patients who received HBOT and 32 who received standard care alone. CRAO represents a rare but devastating ophthalmic emergency, affecting approximately…
A breast cancer survivor from the Fargo area has successfully recovered from severe radiation-related complications using hyperbaric oxygen therapy, a specialized treatment now available at Essentia Health in Fargo. Krystal Anderson’s case demonstrates how the therapy can address long-term side effects from cancer treatment, according to WDAY News. Complications From Cancer Treatment Anderson underwent aggressive…
