NCT ID NCT05643482
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This small pilot study tested whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) could help people with persistent symptoms after a mild concussion. Twelve adults who had symptoms for 3 to 12 months after their injury received either real or fake (sham) treatments. The goal was to see if the therapy could reduce headaches, dizziness, and other post-concussion issues, and improve thinking and quality of life.
