These publications include different levels of evidence—not necessarily clinical trials. PubMed indexing is not proof of benefit or an endorsement. Summaries are based on available PubMed abstracts, not a formal full-text quality assessment. Read the limitations as well as the findings; some papers report no benefit or potential harms.

Comparative clinical study 2024

The Efficacy of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus Complicated by Peripheral Neuropathy. (opens PubMed in a new tab)

Yin L; Shao Y — Alternative therapies in health and medicine

Plain English Summary

Patients with diabetic peripheral neuropathy receiving HBOT plus standard care had improved nerve conduction and vascular-flow measures compared with standard care alone.

Limitations & context: The abstract does not establish a blinded randomized design. Findings concern diabetic neuropathy, not every cause of peripheral nerve damage.

Weng J; Ren H; Guo Q; Huang K; Ding L — Medicine

Plain English Summary

Trials of adjunctive HBOT for diabetic peripheral neuropathy reported improvements in treatment-response and nerve-conduction measures.

Limitations & context: Publication bias was detected for some outcomes. The findings should not be generalized to other neuropathies without evidence.
