Peripheral nerves are essential connections between the central nervous system and
muscles, autonomic structures and sensory organs. Their injury is one of the major causes …

The effect of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) treatment on regeneration of the rat sciatic nerve was
studied. The sciatic nerve was crushed with a pair of pliers and the animals were either left …

There is a constant search for new techniques that induce more extensive and rapid wound
healing. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO2T) involves placing a patient in a sealed chamber …

Background The therapeutic use of pure oxygen, even under hyperbaric conditions, has
been well established for about 50 years, whereas the discovery of oxygen occurred 250 …

Object. Hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) therapy has been reported to improve neurological
recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). In the present study, the authors examined whether …

After a peripheral nerve cut, tense repair of a nerve compromises circulation of the nerve at
the injury site, making the site hypoxic. Hyperbaric oxygen might increase tissue …

Previous experimental studies have shown positive effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in
the early regeneration phase in the first few days following a nerve injury. In this study …

Oxygen is compulsory for mitochondrial function and energy supply, but it has numerous
more nuanced roles. The different roles of oxygen in peripheral nerve regeneration range …

Hyperbaric oxygen has been successfully used on treatment of acute ischemic injuries
involving soft tissues and chronic injuries. In nerve crush injuries, the mechanisms involved …

Abstract Effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBO) on nerve regeneration in acellular
nerve and muscle grafts were investigated in rats. Nerve and muscle grafts were made …
