Oxygen therapy may boost hip procedure for bone death
NCT ID NCT06931301
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) to a standard hip procedure (core decompression with bone marrow cells) can reduce pain in people with early-stage avascular necrosis of the hip. The trial will enroll 400 participants. The goal is to see if the oxygen treatment helps preserve the hip and improve quality of life.
