HBOT Resources
Curated educational content on hyperbaric oxygen therapy — research evidence, clinical trials, safety protocols, regulatory status, and the full glossary of hyperbaric terminology for clinicians, researchers, and informed patients.
Research Library
Peer-reviewed HBOT research across TBI, stroke, long COVID, wound care, decompression sickness, and more — organised by evidence tier, with mechanisms, meta-analyses, and how to evaluate the literature.
Browse Research →Clinical Trials Tracker
Foundational trials by indication, active Phase 2/3 investigations, and the methodological landscape of HBOT trial design — pressures, sham protocols, enrolment criteria.
View Trials →Safety Guidelines
Contraindications, pre-treatment screening, barotrauma prevention, CNS/pulmonary oxygen toxicity, NFPA 99 fire safety, and population-specific considerations (paediatric, elderly, diabetic, cardiac).
View Guidelines →Regulatory Status
14 UHMS-approved indications, FDA chamber clearances, CMS reimbursement codes and documentation, state-level variations, international frameworks, and facility accreditation.
Read Guidance →FAQ
Answers to the most common questions about HBOT — chambers, pressure levels, treatment courses, UHMS indications, safety, cost, and insurance coverage.
Read FAQ →A–Z Glossary
Alphabetical reference index covering HBOT terminology — ATA, mmHg, monoplace, multiplace, DCS, barotrauma, oxygen toxicity, Weaver protocol, and more.
Open Index →Where to Start
New to HBOT or looking for a specific entry point? These pathways cover the main audiences for the site.
For Clinicians
Start with regulatory status for UHMS indications and CMS documentation requirements, then review safety for contraindications and the pre-treatment screening framework. The protocols library covers pressure-specific treatment schedules.
Begin →For Researchers
The research library covers evidence tiers, mechanisms, and leading research groups. Clinical trials tracker details foundational RCTs and current active investigations across indications.
Begin →For Patients & Families
Begin with the FAQ for the fundamentals of HBOT, then review the conditions library for your specific indication. The A–Z glossary covers unfamiliar terms you'll encounter.
Begin →Latest HBOT Research Articles
In-depth guides from the HBOT Hub research desk
Research Blog
Deep-dive articles on HBOT mechanisms, protocol design, and emerging clinical research.
Visit Blog →Protocols
Treatment protocols grouped by pressure (1.3 to 2.8 ATA) and by indication (wound care, neurological, emergency).
View Protocols →Chambers
Monoplace, multiplace, hard-shell, soft-shell, and portable — specifications, use cases, and typical costs.
Compare Chambers →Conditions
Evidence-based HBOT research by indication — neurological, wound/tissue, and emergency conditions.
