See the healing progression of hyperbaric oxygen therapy patients

At HyOx, a leading accredited hyperbaric medicine facility in Metro Atlanta, we carefully track healing progress for the benefit of our patients, referring physicians and other care providers. Case studies from patient progress notes show the efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients who comply with prescribed evidence-based treatment regimen. Controlled case studies are a challenge in the field of hyperbaric medicine and virtually impossible since so many variables exist in each patient case. Also, securing funds to undertake rigorous clinical studies is difficult because hyperbaric oxygen therapy can’t be patented like a new drug.

We present the following individualized case studies to chronicle HyOx’s hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment protocols and clinical outcomes for complications from cancer, infections, trauma, and wounds.
