Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers investigated the effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) in treating hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) in five patients who had undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

What They Found

All five patients received 100% oxygen in a hyperbaric chamber at 2.5 atmospheres for 60 minutes, 5 days a week. A complete response, including resolution of pain, hematuria, and viral load eradication, was observed in all patients after a mean of 13 HBO sessions (range 11-30).

Canadian Relevance

This study has no direct Canadian connection.

Study Limitations

A significant limitation of this study is its very small sample size of only five patients, which limits the generalizability of the findings.
