Revision as of 21:47, 3 May 2020

Muscle pain and markers of muscle damage were improved after a course of hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Clinical Bottom Line:

1. HBOT reduced some markers of muscle injury

2. HBOT resulted in lower pain scores after ten treatments for muscle strain injuries in athletes.

Lead author's name and fax:Re-Wen Wu: ray4595@gmail.com

 

Three-part Clinical Question:In elite athletes, does exposure to hyperbaric oxygen compared to standard approaches, promote recovery from muscular injury?

Search Terms: Athletes; recovery; pain

 

The Study:

Double-blinded concealed randomised controlled trial with intention-to-treat.

The Study Patients:  Adult baseball players with minor muscle strains lasting more than two weeks that did not interrupt their athletic schedule.

Control group (N = 23; 21 analysed): Sham treatment breathing air at 1.3ATA on the same time schedule as the experimental group.

Experimental group (N = 23; 20 analysed): 100% oxygen breathing at 2.5 ATA for 60m minutes daily for 10 days.

The Evidence:

    Comments: 1. Generally high-quality study with good randomisation and blinding

2. Study was powered at 80% to show a difference of 12.9 on the 'Brief Pain Inventory'. This appears to be a combination of seven pain dimensions for pain intensity and effect on life, but that result is not given in the paper - only the individual element scores.

3. Elements of the BPI were all less than 5 and we have presumed these are out of a maximum score of 10.

4. These results are at odds with previously published data- this may reflect a different demographic and the grade and chronicity of injury
