Safety and Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Long COVID Syndrome

Hyperbaric Oxygen for Treatment of Long COVID Syndrome; A Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Phase II Clinical Trial

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 22 Aug 2024

Brief summary (registry, in English)

Long COVID Syndrome (Long COVID), Post Acute COVID-19 Syndrome (PACS) or Post COVID-19 Syndrome (PCS) is defined as 'signs and symptoms that develop during or following an infection consistent with COVID-19, continue for more than 12 weeks and are not explained by an alternative diagnosis'. 1 in 10 infected individuals may suffer persistent symptoms, and we are facing an emerging problem that will severely affect individuals, health care systems and society for years to come. We explore hyperbaric oxygen administered in a randomized placebo-controlled clinical trial as a potential treatment for patients suffering from Long COVID. The overall hypothesis to be evaluated is that hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) alleviates symptoms associated with Long COVID.
