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
ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/11/20253) When applying HBOT in multiple sessions, the repeated exposure to high oxygen levels followed by returning to normal levels is believed to trigger the same cellular pathways as in hypoxia (too low oxygen levels). This is called the hyperoxia-hypoxia paradox. 270
