Research Rundowns
Navigating medical research and journal publications can be challenging. You might find yourself pondering questions like… How are studies setup? Are there complex mechanisms of action? Who is funding the research? Are there conflicts of interest? How does it relate to the body of research on the topic?
Our Research Rundowns are short video summaries of research published in peer reviewed journals relating to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. In each Research Rundown we highlight key pieces of information, with a little commentary and perspective, relative to where it falls within the field of HBOT research.
