DEFINITION

What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is a medical treatment in which patients breathe 100% pure oxygen inside a pressurized chamber at 1.5 to 3 times normal atmospheric pressure. This increased pressure allows oxygen to dissolve into blood plasma and other body fluids.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared HBOT for treatment of 14 specific medical conditions. Clinical research spanning multiple decades supports the use of HBOT for wound healing, infection treatment, and tissue repair.

PHYSIOLOGICAL MECHANISMS

How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Works

HBOT produces therapeutic effects through multiple biological mechanisms documented in peer-reviewed medical literature.

Documented Biological Effects:

Wound Healing

Increased oxygen concentration in tissues promotes collagen synthesis, angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation), and fibroblast proliferation. Clinical studies demonstrate accelerated healing in diabetic ulcers, surgical wounds, and radiation-damaged tissue.

Infection Control

Hyperoxic conditions are bactericidal to anaerobic bacteria and enhance white blood cell function. HBOT increases production of reactive oxygen species which destroy bacterial cell walls.

Inflammation Reduction

Treatment reduces levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines and decreases edema through vasoconstriction. Studies show measurable reduction in tissue swelling following HBOT sessions.

Stem Cell Mobilization

Research indicates HBOT increases circulating stem cells and growth factors including VEGF (vascular endothelial growth factor) and PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor), which support tissue regeneration.

Neuroprotection

Increased oxygen delivery to brain tissue supports neuronal metabolism and may reduce secondary injury in traumatic brain injury and stroke. Clinical trials are ongoing to establish optimal treatment protocols.

Angiogenesis

Repeated HBOT sessions stimulate formation of new capillaries in hypoxic (low-oxygen) tissue, improving long-term blood supply and oxygen delivery to damaged areas.
