We are always on the lookout for new trials or those we may have missed. If you know of any (human) RCTs in this area please contact us at [m.bennett@unsw.edu.au]
Evidence link: to evidence-based review of many HBOT indications | (MD thesis of Mike Bennett)

Latest CATSNew evidence that HBO is effective for radiation cystitis (Oscarsson 2019)  and sudden hearing loss (Hu 2020)

Planned study of mild cognitive impairment in elderly patients with diabetes (BenAri 2020

Pooled analysis suggests there is (1) some justification for further studies into the use of HBOT for PTSD after mild head trauma (Hart 2019) and (2) a low rate of adverse effects in either arm (Churchill 2019). 

Some further weak evidence that fibromyalgia may improve with HBOT (Izquierdo 2020). 

60 treatments was associated with some signs of cognitive improvement but not with 3 months of doing nothing! (Haddany 2020).

Whither 2021? Well, 2020 was a washout but 2021 is looking a little rosier!

The SPUMS Annual Scientific Meeting was cancelled and now our expectations of going to Tutukaka in New Zealand next year are growing weaker by the minute. Watch this space for updates.
The UHMS ASM 2021 is fully scheduled and looking firm. Pre-course June 9th, full ASM 10-12 June at Astor Crowne Plaza in the French Quarter of New Orleans. For more details see | UHMS web site

The EUBS ASM in 2021 is in Prague and is still on at this stage (September 2021). Dates yet to be confirmed.

The Baltic International Symposium on DHM is now scheduled for June 3rd to 5th 2021 in Gdynia, Poland. See details at  http://www.bisdhm.events
