Clinical Trial – Treatment of Radiation-induced Fibrosis in the Upper Aerodigestive Tract Cancer by a Combination of Pentoxifylline-tocopherol and Hyperbaric Oxygen

The pentoxifylline used with tocopherol achieves a certain effectiveness in the treatment of
the fibrosis.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has been recommended and used in a wide variety of medical
conditions including the treatment of delayed radiation injuries (soft tissue and bony
radiation necrosis). The hyperbaric oxygen therapy increases the formation of granulation
tissue and produces angiogenesis maintained after use.

Neurobiological insight into hyperbaric hyperoxia.

Abstract: Hyperbaric hyperoxia (HBO) is known to modulate aerobic metabolism, vasoreactivity and blood flow in the brain. Nevertheless, mechanisms underlying its therapeutic effects, especially in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke patients, are debated. The...
