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

ME/CFS Science @mecfsscience.org · 02/11/20254) The authors speculate that "through this effect, HBOT elicits a cascade of cellular responses that collectively may address many pathophysiological aspects of ME/CFS." They suspect, for example, it will result in the formation of new blood vessels and reduced inflammation. 160
