Investigational Diseases and Conditions

The hyperbaric medical community is actively investigating the efficacy of HBOT to treat a broad range of diseases and conditions. As the scientific debates and clinical trials continue, many practitioners prescribe hyperbaric oxygen therapy for off-label indications, including:

  • Asphyxiation
  • Coma
  • Crohn’s disease
  • Diabetes
  • Drug/Alcohol detox
  • Encephalopathy
  • Hearing loss
  • Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD)
  • Mitochondrial disease
  • Near drowning
  • Near hanging
  • Parkinson's disease
  • Physical rehabilitation
  • Poisoning
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD)
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Sports injuries
  • Tinnitus
  • Vertigo

Clinical evidence ranges from scant to compelling. None is approved by the UHMS or covered by most healthcare payers.
