Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Peripheral Neuropathy
Abstract: Conclusive evidence for involvement of the peripheral nervous system in decompression illness is lacking. We report a case of decompression illness associated with shoulder pain and the clinical features of median nerve injury at the wrist. Initial...
Abstract: Oxygen environments were used to study the regenerative effects of hyperbaric oxygen on crushed sciatic nerves in 30 adult male rabbits. Six different oxygen environments were used, and treatments were initiated 4 days post injury. Transmission electron...
Abstract: Rat peroneal nerves were transected and entubulated with a Silastic channel. The experimental group was treated with hyperbaric oxygen to evaluate changes in acute edema, functional recovery, and histology. Hyperbaric oxygen was administered with 100% O2 at...
Abstract: Several cases have been reported recently in which symptoms suggestive of transient radicular irritation occurred following the use of hyperbaric 5% lignocaine for spinal anaesthesia. We report on three patients in whom we observed similar symptoms...
Abstract: Neurotoxicity of spinally administered hyperbaric 5% lidocaine is becoming a serious concern in view of the recent literature. We report a case of probable neurotoxicity of hyperbaric 5% lidocaine, followed by an aseptic meningitis. This case report...
Abstract: A patient suffering from acute smoke inhalation also had a long medical history that included reflex sympathetic dystrophy syndrome of the left foot and ankle. The entire foot and ankle were tender and cool to palpation; range of motion was severely reduced....

Abstract: We recently reported several cases consistent with transient radicular irritation after spinal anesthesia with hyperbaric 5% lidocaine. The present prospective, blind, nonrandomized study was performed to determine the incidence of these transient neurologic...
Abstract: The potential therapeutic effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) after rat peroneal nerve crush was evaluated. Animals were given 100% oxygen at 2.5 atmosphere absolute for 90 minutes twice daily for 1 week and then once daily for 1 week. Edema increased in...
