Asthma may benefit from hyperbaric oxygen therapy through the different mechanisms of HBOT
Note that severe or uncontrolled asthma is a contraindication and should be discussed with your doctor first
Study: Exploring Oxygen Therapy as a Supporting Treatment for Asthma: Current Insights and Perspectives
Conclusion: The literature suggests that oxygen therapy may exert beneficial effects through several mechanisms potentially relevant to asthma management, including improved oxygenation, anti-inflammatory action, reduced oxidative stress, enhancement of immune responses, promotion of angiogenesis, and modulation of nitric oxide pathways. Collectively, these mechanisms may contribute to symptom relief and improved pulmonary function in patients with asthma.
Study: Pulmonary function following hyperbaric oxygen therapy: A longitudinal observational study
Conclusions: The present study provides further evidence for the safety profile of HBOT, both with respect to potentially insidious consequences of treatment on pulmonary function and to acute iatrogenic injury. Our data also illustrate this finding in patients with prior respiratory disease or smoking histories.
