- Hyperbaric oxygen for idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss and tinnitus
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Oct-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, 23-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, 12-Nov-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, 15-Feb-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, 24-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, 19-Oct-2005
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, 28-Apr-2016
Cancer is a significant global health problem. Radiotherapy is a treatment for many cancers and about 50% of people having radiotherapy will be long-term survivors. Some will experience late radiation tissue injury (LRTI) developing months or years later.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2004
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 people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD)
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 13-Oct-2016
The rising prevalence of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has increased the need for evidence-based treatments to lessen the impact of symptoms. Presently, no therapies are available to effectively treat individuals with all of the symptoms of this disorder
- 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, 19-Apr-2004
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-Apr-2018
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
- Hyperbaric versus isobaric bupivacaine for spinal anaesthesia for caesarean section
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 15-Sep-2016
Bupivacaine is an amide local anaesthetic used in hyperbaric and isobaric forms. These are administered intrathecally into the spine to provide regional anaesthesia for caesarean section. Several trials have compared hyperbaric and isobaric bupivacaine bu
- Hyperfractionated or accelerated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 8-Dec-2010
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.
- Hyperimmune immunoglobulin for people with COVID‐19
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 26-Jan-2023
Hyperimmune immunoglobulin (hIVIG) contains polyclonal antibodies, which can be prepared from large amounts of pooled convalescent plasma or prepared from animal sources through immunisation. They are being investigated as a potential therapy for coronavi
- Hypertonic saline versus other intracranial pressure–lowering agents for people with acute traumatic brain injury
Cochrane Systematic Reviews, 17-Jan-2020
Increased intracranial pressure has been shown to be strongly associated with poor neurological outcomes and mortality for patients with acute traumatic brain injury. Currently, most efforts to treat these injuries focus on controlling the intracranial pr
