Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers studied 50 patients with schizophrenia who were not responding well to their usual drug therapy, giving them hyperbaric oxygen treatment alongside their medication.

What They Found

The study found that adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy to drug treatment was beneficial for patients with certain types of schizophrenia, specifically those with asthenic and apathetic depressions, hysteric-hypochondriac disturbances, and obsessions. The best results were seen after 10-12 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen treatment.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.

Study Limitations

This study was conducted many years ago with a small number of participants and did not include a control group, making it difficult to definitively confirm the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation.
