Is hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy effective in treating MS?

Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) was investigated as a treatment for multiple sclerosis (MS) with the rationale that breathing oxygen under increased pressure in a specially constructed chamber would improve the conduction of signals through the central nervous system. At first it appeared that treatment had definite benefits. But later, in controlled studies around the world, results were disappointing.

In a report published in June 1986 in Neurology, a group of experts tested eighty-two patients at the Tobermory Hyperbaric Facility in Canada. Forty-one patients received twenty consecutive daily treatments of 100 percent oxygen followed by seven booster treatments over the course of six months. Forty-one patients in the control group received 12.5 percent oxygen.

The results showed no significant difference in their Kurtzke disability scores, magnetic resonance imaging, or evoked potentials tests.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
