Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Research for Peripheral Neuropathy
Abstract: 105 patients with compression mononeuropathies were divided into 2 groups by duration of HBO performed under an original method. The effect of HBO treatment was assessed by changes in neurological symptoms and positive trend on ENMG. The most appreciable...
Abstract: The authors propose to use hyperbaric oxygenation followed by muscle electrostimulation for rehabilitation after nervous diseases and injuries. This combination of procedures proceeds from reduced thresholds of muscle electric excitability evident from the...
Abstract: The intent of this paper is to review the recent literature on exercise-induced hyperammonemia (EIH) and to compare the current interpretations of ammonia accumulation during exercise with the recognized clinical symptoms of progressive ammonia toxicity. In...
Abstract: This is a survey of the experience in using corticosteroids, plasmapheresis, immunodepressants, hyperbaric oxygenation, laser and magnetotherapy in treating the infectious-allergic Guillain-Barre polyradiculoneuritis. The indications and counter-indications...
Abstract: The effect of 2 wk of topical hyperbaric oxygen (THO) treatment on the healing of diabetic foot ulcers without associated gangrene was evaluated in a prospective, controlled, and randomized manner in 28 patients. There were 12 patients in the THO group...
Abstract: Hyperbaric oxygenation is known to affect energy metabolism and endothelial cell structure and function, but its effects on peripheral nerve have not been reported. We investigated whether it would (i) reverse established streptozotocin-induced diabetic...
Abstract: The results of clinico-electromyographic examinations point to a sufficiently high effectiveness of hyperbaric oxygenation in polyradiculoneuritis and permit its inclusion into the multimodality treatment of the latter. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO)...
Abstract: Hypoxia in the relatively ischemic diabetic foot impairs leukocyte bacterial killing and fibroblast-collagen support for capillary angiogenesis. Infection in even the relatively young, "warm-foot" diabetic with microangiopathy, neuropathy, and...
Abstract: We treated a group of 18 hospitalized adult diabetic patients (all with retinopathy, 17 with symptomatic neuropathy, and 6 with macroangiopathy) presenting with gangrenous lesions of the foot by a combined regime consisting of strict metabolic control, daily...
