- Hyperbaric oxygen for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 24-Jul-2012
This is an update of a Cochrane Review first published in The Cochrane Library in Issue 1, 2005 and previously updated in 2007 and 2009.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute coronary syndrome
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 21-Jul-2015
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS), includes acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina, is common and may prove fatal. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) will improve oxygen supply to the threatened heart and may reduce the volume of heart muscle that peri
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute ischaemic stroke
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 27-Oct-2014
Most cases of stroke are caused by impairment of blood flow to the brain (ischaemia), which results in a reduction in available oxygen and subsequent cell death. It has been postulated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) may reduce the volume of brain t
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for Bell's palsy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 18-Jan-2012
Bell's palsy is an idiopathic, acute unilateral facial weakness that evolves rapidly and is maximal within two days. Moderate ear discomfort, sensitivity to sound and reduced tearing may occur.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for chronic wounds
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 10-Jun-2015
Chronic wounds are common and present a health problem with significant effect on quality of life. Various pathologies may cause tissue breakdown, including poor blood supply resulting in inadequate oxygenation of the wound bed. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for delayed onset muscle soreness and closed soft tissue injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 9-May-2010
Soft tissue injuries (including muscle damage after unaccustomed exercise) are common and are often associated with athletic activity. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is the therapeutic administration of 100% oxygen at environmental pressures greater tha
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for late radiation tissue injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2015
Cancer is a significant global health problem. Radiotherapy is a treatment for many cancers and about 50% of patients having radiotherapy with be long-term survivors. Some will experience late radiation tissue injury (LRTI) developing months or years late
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 4-Jul-2011
Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, recurrent and progressive illness with no cure. On the basis of speculative pathophysiology, it has been suggested that Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) may slow or reverse the progress of the disease.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for promoting fracture healing and treating fracture non-union
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 2-Oct-2012
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) consists of intermittently administering 100% oxygen at pressures greater than one atmosphere absolute (ATA) in a pressure vessel. This technology has been used to treat a variety of diseases and has been described as help
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for the adjunctive treatment of traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 19-Nov-2012
Traumatic brain injury is a common health problem with significant effect on quality of life. Each year in the USA approximately 0.56% of the population suffer a head injury, with a case fatality rate of about 40% for severe injuries. These account for a
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for thermal burns
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Aug-2009
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) consists of intermittently administering 100% oxygen at pressures greater than 1 atmosphere in a pressure vessel. This technology has been used to treat a variety of disease states and has been described as helping patient
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for treating acute surgical and traumatic wounds
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 6-Dec-2013
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is used as a treatment for acute wounds (such as those arising from surgery and trauma). However, the effects of HBOT on wound healing are unclear.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for vascular dementia
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 7-Jun-2012
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been used to treat a variety of conditions and has shown possible efficacy for treating vascular dementia (VaD) in experimental and preliminary clinical studies.
- Hyperbaric oxygenation for tumour sensitisation to radiotherapy
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-Feb-2015
Cancer is a common disease and radiotherapy is one well-established treatment for some solid tumours. Hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) may improve the ability of radiotherapy to kill hypoxic cancer cells, so the administration of radiotherapy while b
- Hyperfractionated or accelerated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 3-Apr-2015
Several trials have studied the role of altered fractionation radiotherapy in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, but the effect of such treatment on survival is not clear.
- Hypertonic saline for peri-operative fluid management
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Nov-2009
Fluid excess may place patients undergoing surgery at risk for various complications. Hypertonic saline (HS) maintains intravascular volume with less intravenous fluid than isotonic salt (IS) solutions, but may increase serum sodium.
- Hypertonic versus near isotonic crystalloid for fluid resuscitation in critically ill patients
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 12-Aug-2008
Hypertonic solutions are considered to have a greater ability to expand blood volume and thus elevate blood pressure and can be administered as a small volume infusion over a short time period. On the other hand, the use of hypertonic solutions for volume
- Hyperventilation therapy for acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2009
Because hyperventilation is often associated with a rapid fall in intracranial pressure, it has been assumed to be effective in the treatment of severe head injury. Hyperventilation reduces raised intracranial pressure by causing cerebral vasoconstriction
- Hypnosis during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postnatal period for preventing postnatal depression
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 11-May-2012
The morbidity caused by postnatal depression is enormous. Several psychological or psychosocial interventions have appeared to be effective for treating the disorder although they have not shown a clear benefit in preventing the development of PND. As yet
- Hypnosis for children undergoing dental treatment
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 5-Jul-2010
Managing children is a challenge that many dentists face. Many non-pharmacological techniques have been developed to manage anxiety and behavioural problems in children, such us: 'tell, show & do', positive reinforcement, modelling and hypnosis. The use o
