Title: Comparative study of the effectiveness of a low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen treatment and physical exercise in women with fibromyalgia: randomized clinical trial
Publisher: Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease (Print: Volume 12, 2020) (Online: 06/24/2020)
Pressure: 1.45 ATA
Oxygen Concentration: 97%
Duration: 90 min
Sessions: 40
Conclusion: The results suggest that both low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen therapy and an 8-week program of low-impact physical exercise improve pain pressure threshold in some muscles at rest, endurance and functional capacity measured as the amount of distance walked, as well as physical performance in daily life activities. Induced fatigue and perceived pain at rest significantly improved only with low-pressure hyperbaric treatment. Thus, low-pressure hyperbaric oxygen treatment may be the treatment of choice in women with FM reporting high levels of pain and fatigue.
