First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people with acute ankle sprains heal better and faster. Researchers will enroll 208 people with recent ankle sprains and compare those who get hyperbaric oxygen to those who get a sham treatment. The goal is to see if this therapy improves ankle function and reduces pain.
