This review article synthesized existing evidence regarding the mechanisms and applications of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in neurosurgery.
What They Found
The review identified conclusive evidence demonstrating significant positive effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy across four distinct neurosurgical conditions: craniocerebral trauma, cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial infections, and intracranial tumours. This non-drug treatment method is increasingly recognised by clinicians for its therapeutic potential.
