Abstract
There has been several evidence based review on the use of HBO in Spinal cord injury and in head injury. All come to the conclusion that there is good experimental evidence showing that HBO has potential in the treatment of SCI and HI. Unfortunately, there are only few low quality RCT’s using different treatment regimens and reporting conflicting results. The best points out to the necessity of good quality RCT including: systematization of dosage for HBO (duration of session, pressure used, total number of sessions); careful recording of adverse effects in order to prove that HBO — including transportation to the chamber — does not worsen the patient’s condition
