Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for acute ischaemic stroke.

CONCLUSIONS: We found no good evidence to show that HBOT improves clinical outcomes when applied during acute presentation of ischaemic stroke. Although evidence from the 11 RCTs is insufficient to provide clear guidelines for practice, the possibility of clinical benefit has not been excluded. Further research is required to better define the role of HBOT in this condition. PMID: 25387992 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
