What Researchers Did
Researchers conducted a literature review using the NCBI PubMed database to examine studies on the application of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in acute ischaemic stroke.
What They Found
The review concluded that hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) can improve oxygenation in ischaemic lesions, potentially salvaging neurological function in acute ischaemic stroke. It explored HBOT's mechanisms, safety, and complications, suggesting its promise as a non-pharmacological neuroprotective agent.
