India. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) and rheumatoid arthritis pain:

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has been shown to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and other chronic pain disorders.

Arthritis is a painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. A chronic pain disorder afflicting some 19 million adult Americans, arthritis is the leading cause of disability in the US. The most common types are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but arthritis comprises more than 100 other inflammatory diseases and conditions, including fibromyalgia, gout, and lupus.

Initial research on using hyperbaric oxygen treatment to help arthritis joint pain, especially from rheumatoid arthritis, looks promising.

Writing for Patients Medical, Dr. Rashmi Gulati, a specialist in integrative medicine based in New York, says more studies are concluding that hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be "markedly superior to routine treatment of RA."

"Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has become a standard of practice for RA in many countries," she noted. "Clinical practice has proved that hyperbaric oxygen therapy has good effects on analgesia, lowering blood sedimentation rate, stabilizing immunologic function, and strengthening the body's resistance for eliminating pathogenic factors. It is also beneficial for the repair of the diseased joints."

She also said such therapy can inhibit the progression of rheumatoid arthritis and suppress the inflammation that goes along with the disorder, adding that having hyperbaric oxygen therapy daily can work on a disease even if it has fully developed.

Hyperbaric oxygen treatment is comparable to acetylsalicylic acid treatment in an animal model of arthritis.  The abstract noted: "The effect of hyperbaric oxygen treatment is very similar in magnitude to the effect of acetylsalicylic acid treatment. Potentially, hyperbaric oxygen could be used to treat pain and inflammation in patients with arthritis."

International studies are finding that hyperbaric oxygen therapy is markedly superior to the routine treatment of RA. In 1995, the Proceedings of the Eleventh International Congress on Hyperbaric Medicine published the results of one particular study. These results indicated the following effects of hyperbaric oxygen on the disease.

The total summarized effective rate of hyperbaric oxygen in treating RA was 91.9%. The authors of the study concluded, "In the treatment we find that hyperbaric oxygen is markedly superior to the routine treatment of rheumatoid arthritis."

How Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Work for Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) Patients?

HBOT sessions are often called “dives”. During one of these sessions, the patient will enter a chamber that is filled with one hundred percent pure oxygen and pressurized above the normal atmospheric pressure. A session will usually run between fifty and ninety minutes, though the patient will sometimes have “air breaks” to breathe normal air. This decreases the risk that the patient will develop oxygen toxicity. There are different types of chambers used for HBOT. Some chambers are designed for only one patient, while others are designed for several patients.

HBOT for CRPS Physical Symptoms:

HBOT works as a treatment for CRPS/RSD by saturating all body and brain tissues in oxygen. This first relieves any oxygen deprivation that has come from the swelling or tissue damage. After a while in the HBOT chamber, with the effected limb or area receiving oxygen in proper quantity, the circulation may improve and the swelling could begin to decrease.

Like any other form of treatment for CRPS, HBOT results may vary from patient to patient. Some cases show immediate improvement of condition and continued improvement with subsequent treatments. Other cases may not show improvement from HBOT, or may take a few sessions before results begin to show.

HBOT for CRPS Neurological Symptoms:

In cases where physical symptoms of CRPS begin to subside as a result of HBOT, continued sessions will begin to work on the core of the disease, which is the central nervous system. While suffering from CRPS, pain is being detected and translated by the sympathetic nervous system, which is a different part of the brain than what commonly responds to pain. This improper response is in part what causes the  perception of pain that is out of proportion to the visible symptoms, as well as causing the patient to feel pain in places where there is no obvious cause. The atmospheric pressure that is being administered while the patient is in the HBOT chamber is a large part of what helps to alleviate symptoms and improve the condition of the patient with CRPS. The atmospheric pressure being administered is measured by the depth below sea level that would provide that amount of pressure. Mild hyperbaric pressure, the equivalent of being eighteen to twenty-four feet below sea level, works primarily on the brain and central nervous system. Pressure that is equivalent to deeper depths works on tissue and bone.

The administration of this mild hyperbaric pressure can help the brain to begin the proper translation of pain by the central nervous system instead of the sympathetic nervous system. This can in turn eliminate the false sensations of pain in body areas or limbs that have not have physical cause for pain. It can also further assist in reducing the sensitivity in the effected limb or area.

Sports professionals known to be using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT):

Athletes need to be in great physical health in order to perform well. The risk of injury in any sport is high. More athletes are now becoming involved with their care, recovery and well being. One of the therapies they are choosing to use is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is used as an adjunctive therapy to treat sports injuries, from the acute traumatic injury to muscle contusions and ankle sprains. It is also used in treatment of joint, ligament, and tendon injuries reducing recovery time. Hyperbaric oxygen helps with the reduction of swelling and facilitates soft tissue healing. Many professional sports teams are now using hyperbaric oxygen therapy to attain their performance and to reduce fatigue.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy helps to get athletes to get back to peak physical fitness following injuries and strains acquired during training sessions and competing in world events.

In the UK many rugby and foot ball players use hyperbaric oxygen therapy as an adjunct to other forms of therapy.

In conjunction to regular exercise, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is getting more widely used as part of the treatment and rehabilitation protocol for ligament, bone, joint and muscle injuries. Its use significantly reduces injury recovery times and enables sportsmen to get back to the competition sooner.
