Researchers assessed adjunctive HBOT outcomes in 58 patients with chronic refractory osteomyelitis who completed a full course of treatment.

What They Found

Patients who completed the full HBOT course had 7.76 times higher odds of clinical improvement compared to those who did not complete treatment. Overall improvement rates were significantly higher in the HBOT group than in historical controls.
