Abstract:

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy continues to be discussed as another adjunctive therapy in the continuum of wound care. There is a dearth of evidence from randomized clinical trials on HBO therapy. For evidence-based practice, more randomized, controlled studies need to be conducted with HBO therapy to determine its efficacy in treating other chronic wounds besides those of patients with diabetes.
