“Off-Label” Treatment
The HyperbaricLink directory of diseases and conditions includes all the
approved
uses of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. We also include off-label diseases and conditions for which we find at least one of the following:
-
Clinical evidence published in peer-reviewed journals and indexed in the
PubMed.gov catalog;
-
On-going or recently completed clinical trials listed with the
ClinicalTrials.gov
registry;
-
Reviews published by the
Cochrane
or
HBOEvidence
independent scientific organizations;
-
Common promotional claims and anecdotal reports that patients are being treated,
indicating that prospective patients may be searching the internet for relevant information.
We make it clear when the clinical evidence does not support the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. See the
Evidence Index rating and HyperbaricLink Commentary on each page for specifics.
