Authors' objectives:
This study aims to assess the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy compared with other treatments in people with multiple sclerosis.
Authors' recommendations:
Conclusions One systematic review has found controlled studies of limited quality, which suggest that hyperbaric oxygen therapy does not improve functional outcomes compared with other treatments or no treatment in people with multiple sclerosis. Adverse effects are likely to include ear barotrauma, claustrophobia and oxygen toxicity, although the frequency of adverse events is unclear.
