First seen Oct 31, 2025 · Last updated May 08, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can reduce physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms when people lower their methadone dose. About 36 adults in a supervised opioid treatment program will receive either real HBOT at two different pressures or a sham treatment. The goal is to see if HBOT makes tapering easier and more successful.
