What Researchers Did
Researchers presented a case report on a 42-year-old female patient with a refractory wound after radiotherapy, treated with daily hydrogen inhalation therapy.
What They Found
The patient received 2 hours of hydrogen inhalation therapy daily for six months, alongside sterile gauze application and debridement. Her chronic wound, which had previously failed other therapies, completely healed within 6 months of starting the hydrogen treatment, showing superior reepithelialization and wound repair.
Canadian Relevance

Study Limitations
As a single case report, the findings cannot be generalized to a larger patient population or prove efficacy.
