Clinical Trial – Evaluation of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy on Wound Healing Following Management of Soft Tissue Sarcoma With Neo-Adjuvant Radiation and Surgical Resection
A prospective, randomized investigation with appropriate power would determine whether or not
postoperative hyperbaric oxygen therapy improves wound healing in patients with soft tissue
sarcoma undergoing surgical resection with neo-adjuvant radiation therapy.
Clinical Trial – Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Inflammatory Conditions of the Urinary Bladder
Pilot study to determine feasibility for treating patients with two chronic inflammatory
conditions of the urinary bladder: chronic interstitial cystitis and recurrent urinary tract
infections using a standardized hyperbaric oxygen treatment plan. Presently there are no good
treatments for these conditions and hyperbaric oxygen may be a safe and readily accessible
therapy as it has proven successful an another type of chronic inflammatory condition of the
urinary bladder known as "radiation cystitis". The study will determine if patients will
consider this an acceptable treatment for their conditions and that it is well tolerated.
Clinical Trial – Insulin Sensitivity During Hyperbaric Oxygen Compared to Hyperbaric Air
In a recent series of studies performed by our group, we have shown that exposure to
hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) leads to an increase in insulin sensitivity in male subjects with
type-2 diabetes (T2DM) and in obese and overweight men without diabetes. The aim of this
study is to investigate the relationship between pressure and oxygen in producing this
effect, specifically, is this effect measurable in hyperbaric air or is some higher pressure
of oxygen required?
Aims:
1. To determine whether the insulin sensitising effect of HBO is apparent in hyperbaric air
at the same pressure as HBO.
2. To examine mechanisms underpinning the increase in insulin sensitivity following HBO.
