ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/11/20251) 🇩🇪 A new preprint by the Charité group reports improvements after 40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in 30 ME/CFS patients. However, there was no control group, and the improvements were far from impressive. 3202
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/11/20252) Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) involves breathing 100% oxygen in a pressurised chamber. It strongly increases oxygen supply to the blood and tissues. 150
veronicagray.bsky.social @veronicagray.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Disappointing, but tbh I’m not that surprised. The percentage of time in treatment is really quite low. Plus, while HBOT does significantly increase in amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood, it doesn’t increase oxygen in the RBCs, which carry most of the oxygen, by very much. 010
Andreas Longva @andlon.bsky.social · 02/11/2025Oof, I really don't get why they must use such assertive paper titles when in reality the results suggest the opposite, namely that it's unlikely to be effective. 060
