Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is backed by decades of clinical research. Explore key studies that support the use of HBOT for a range of medical conditions.
A Cochrane systematic review analyzing multiple randomized controlled trials found that HBOT significantly improved the rate of complete wound healing in diabetic foot ulcers compared to standard care alone. The review also found a reduced risk of major amputation in patients receiving HBOT.

Research published in wound care journals demonstrated that HBOT stimulates angiogenesis in chronic wounds, increasing local blood vessel density and tissue oxygenation. This mechanism is critical for healing wounds in patients with compromised circulation.

A double-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial demonstrated significant improvements in cognitive function, energy, sleep, and psychiatric symptoms among Long COVID patients treated with HBOT. Brain MRI showed improved perfusion and microstructural integrity in the treatment group.

Neuroimaging studies have shown that Long COVID patients treated with HBOT demonstrate measurable improvements in cerebral blood flow to regions affected by the virus, correlating with symptomatic improvements in brain fog and cognitive dysfunction.

Clinical studies on military veterans and civilians with persistent post-concussion symptoms have shown that HBOT can improve cognitive function, reduce headaches, and decrease PTSD symptom severity. Brain SPECT imaging demonstrated improved metabolic activity in previously damaged regions.

A landmark study published in the journal Aging found that 60 sessions of HBOT increased telomere length by up to 20 percent in certain immune cells and significantly reduced the accumulation of senescent cells. These are two hallmark biological markers associated with aging reversal.
