Oxygen chamber tested to heal Radiation-Damaged jaws
NCT ID NCT00989820
Summary
This study aimed to find out if adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) helps heal serious jaw bone damage that can occur as a late side effect of radiation treatment for head and neck cancer. It involved about 20 adults with this condition, comparing standard surgical care with or without the oxygen therapy. The goal was to see if the oxygen treatment improved healing, reduced pain, and was cost-effective.
