Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers presented a case study of a 33-year-old male with transient osteoporosis and hyperhomocystinemia who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy.

What They Found

The patient received hyperbaric oxygen therapy at 2.5 ATA for 90 minutes, five days per week. Regular follow-up showed improvement, and MRI after 40 sessions revealed decreased oedema, with complete resolution after 90 sessions. Six months after treatment, the patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms and a normal physical examination.
