Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers outlined a protocol for a systematic review and meta-analysis to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) for poststroke insomnia.

What They Found

As this is a study protocol, no findings are presented yet regarding the effectiveness or safety of HBOT for poststroke insomnia. The planned systematic review will search nine major databases for randomised controlled trials published up to November 1, 2023, focusing on sleep quality, adverse events, and recurrence rates.

Canadian Relevance

This study protocol has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

A limitation of this protocol is that it only outlines the methodology, and the actual systematic review and meta-analysis may be limited by the quality or heterogeneity of the included randomised controlled trials.
