NCT ID NCT03339037
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) could help children aged 8-15 with prolonged post-concussion syndrome after a mild brain injury. The trial planned to enroll 52 participants but was terminated early. The goal was to see if the therapy improved thinking skills and reduced concussion symptoms.
