Irritable Bowel Disease (Crohn’s disease, Ulcerative Colitis)
HBOT is an incredible adjunct to conventional drugs by reducing acute and chronic inflammation; enhancing all stages of wound healing; Mobilizes stem cells and stimulates growth factors essential in tissue repair; modulates immune response; All while enhancing plasma oxygen up to 1200% to target tissue hypoxia – a key factor in IBD.
Limited high-quality evidence suggests that HBOT is safe and associated with substantial rates of clinical remission for multiple IBD phenotypes. Well-designed randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm the benefit of HBOT in IBD.
Researchers have shown that more than 80% of patients with Crohn’s disease did report some improvement in their symptoms. Almost 50% of patients who had a fistula experienced full recovery.
