Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers planned a systematic review and meta-analysis to gather and analyze all available randomised controlled trials testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can improve thinking and memory problems in people with Parkinson's disease.

What They Found

This is a protocol paper, no results are available yet. The review will search databases including PubMed and Cochrane Library for trials published up to April 2024. Results will be analyzed using RevMan 5.3 and Stata 15.0, with bias assessed by the Cochrane risk-of-bias tool.

Canadian Relevance

No direct Canadian connection identified.

Study Limitations

This is a study protocol only, no actual patient data has been collected or analyzed yet, so no clinical conclusions can be drawn.
