What Does Hyperbaric Therapy Treat?

One of the original and most established FDA-approved indications for HBOT — an emergency medicine standard.

The original hyperbaric oxygen application — and still the definitive treatment for the bends.

FDA-approved treatment for delayed radiation tissue damage — restoring blood supply to irradiated tissue through angiogenesis.

FDA-approved and time-sensitive — early HBOT treatment can significantly improve hearing recovery after sudden sensorineural hearing loss.

One of the 14 FDA-approved indications for HBOT — and one of the most evidence-backed applications in medicine.

From telomere lengthening to Bryan Johnson's biomarker protocol — the emerging science of pressurized oxygen for aging.

From NFL recovery rooms to Bryan Johnson's longevity protocol — how elite athletes use HBOT for performance and recovery.

A balanced assessment of the evidence, what families report, and what the research actually shows.

Emergency HBOT protocols during the COVID pandemic showed reduced ventilator need and ICU mortality. This is distinct from long COVID — a separate indication.

From fibromyalgia to CRPS — what the research says about HBOT for conditions where standard pain management falls short.

What the research says, which protocols show results, and which chambers meet the clinical threshold.

An honest look at the evidence, what the Lyme community reports, and what pressure levels matter.

100% oxygen is an established emergency treatment for cluster headache. HBOT adds pressure — with emerging evidence for chronic migraine prevention.

MS-specific HBOT research dates to 1983. Cochrane review found inconclusive disease progression evidence — but symptom relief (fatigue, bladder, spasticity) is better documented.

Military-funded research, Israeli Defense Forces studies, and what the evidence says about HBOT for post-traumatic stress.

Medicare covers HBOT for diabetic lower extremity wounds. Evidence shows meaningful amputation risk reduction — with angiogenesis as the key mechanism.
