Bone and Tissue Injuries Related to Radiation

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for late radiation-induced tissue toxicity: prospectively patient-reported outcome measures in breast cancer patients (Teguh,  et. al, 2016)

https://ro-journal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s13014-016-0700-0

Conclusions:

In these breast cancer patients with radiation injuries treated with HBOT, patients observed improvements. HBOT was a well-tolerated and any side-effects were reported as minimal and reversible.

 

Cystitis

Radiation-induced cystitis treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (RICH-ART): a randomised, controlled, phase 2–3 trial

Conclusions:

The researchers results suggest that HBOT reduces the symptoms of late radiation cystitis and is a safe and well-tolerated treatment option.

Diabetic Ulcers

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Ischemic Foot Ulcers in Type 2 Diabetes: A Clinical Trial

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6131315/ 

Conclusions:

When compared to only standard wound care, HBOT with Standard wound area significantly more reduce the ulcer area and depth in diabetic patients.  Participants were followed every week for 4 weeks and their ulcers were measured for their surface area and depth to assess any change in wound size.

Chronic Osteomyelitis

Conclusions:

Researches reviewed 96 studies that looked at HBOT as a treatment option for Chronic Osteomyelitis. All patients had previously received antibiotics and debridement and were considered chronic osteomyelitis. They found that 308 (73.5%) of 419 patients with complete data had a successful outcome and no reported relapse, supporting that HBOT is beneficial in the healing of chronic osteomyelitis.
