FDA-APPROVED HBOT TREATMENTS
Medical-grade hyperbaric oxygen therapy has proven effectiveness across a wide variety of conditions.
At NexGen Hyperbaric, our clinics are fully equipped – and our medical staff is fully qualified – to provide hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT treatment) for all FDA-approved conditions.
Traditional HBOT treatments, which have FDA approval and are therefore not considered “off-label,” are generally focused on chronic wounds, acute infections, and conditions where the problem area is not receiving enough oxygen to heal with standard treatment modalities.
For information about off-label HBOT treatments that are currently showing tremendous promise in clinical studies, such as HBOT treatment for sports-related recovery and performance enhancement, visit our cutting-edge HBOT page.
FDA-Approved HBOT Treatments – and the Conditions They Help Heal
The following conditions have undergone rigorous clinical trials demonstrating their effectiveness with hyperbaric oxygen therapy. As a result, they are officially approved for HBOT and are typically covered by insurance.
Conditions FDA approved for HBOT therapy are:
- Acute traumatic ischemias (crush injury, blast injuries, compartment syndrome)
- Anemia (due to acute blood loss)
- Carbon monoxide poisoning
- Clostridal myositis and myonecrosis (gas gangrene)
- Diabetically derived illnesses (foot ulcers, retinopathy, nephropathy)
- Decompression sickness
- Gas embolism (often from diving)
- Idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss
- Intracranial abscess (acute brain infection from trauma or disease)
- Necrotizing fasciitis (flesh eating bacteria)
- Osteoradionecrosis / myoradionecrosis (radiation injury to soft tissue and bone)
- Radiation injury (delayed soft tissue and bone necrosis)
- Refractory osteomyelitis
- Retinal artery occlusion
- Skin grafts and flaps (compromised post operatively)
- Thermal burns
