    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Hyperbaric Medicine

    Background:

    • Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurological disease affecting daily activities.
    • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) is explored for potential benefits in MS management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the effects of HBOT on activities of daily living in individuals with multiple sclerosis.
    • To assess changes in bladder function, mobility, and communication over an 18-month treatment period.

    Main Methods:

    • An 18-month uncontrolled study involving 97 individuals with multiple sclerosis.
    • Patients were categorized as progressive (two-thirds) or stable (one-third).
    • Assessments focused on bladder function, mobility, and communication.

    Main Results:

    • A tendency towards improvement in bladder function was observed over 12 months of HBOT.
    • No significant evidence of improvement in mobility or communication was found.
    • Previous reports suggest immediate bladder function improvements with HBOT.

    Conclusions:

    • HBOT may offer a potential benefit for bladder dysfunction in multiple sclerosis.
    • Further research is needed to confirm HBOT's efficacy for mobility and communication in MS.
    • Sustained HBOT may help prevent deterioration in bladder function for progressive MS patients.
