Hyperbaric Medicine Research

Hyperbaric Medicine Research studies how breathing pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber can promote healing. This therapy, called hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), increases oxygen levels in the blood, helping fight infections, reduce inflammation, and repair tissues. Researchers explore its effectiveness for conditions like wounds that won't heal, decompression sickness, carbon monoxide poisoning, and certain neurological injuries. Ongoing studies aim to better understand its benefits, optimize treatment protocols, and discover new uses, ensuring safe and effective application of this therapy in medicine.
