Testing oxygen level effects after diving or oxygen therapy
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing extra oxygen (hyperoxia) and the body’s immune response change after diving or when people need hyperbaric oxygen therapy. It may help doctors understand what to expect and how to manage recovery after a diving accident.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be either a healthy volunteer, or admitted to the hospital for a suspected diving accident, or admitted for hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
- You must have no medical reasons that make diving unsafe for you.
- You must have no medical reasons that make hyperbaric oxygen therapy unsafe for you.
- If a doctor says oxygen therapy or diving is contraindicated (not safe for you), you cannot join.

This study tests how exercise before breathing pure oxygen affects the body, helping to prepare astronauts for spacewalks. It may also offer insights into preventing decompression sickness in divers and aviators.
This trial looks at accidents from technical diving (using special gas mixes or rebreathers) in mainland France. It aims to understand what makes these accidents more serious, so doctors can better predict and prevent them.
This study looks at how divers recover from Inner Ear Decompression Sickness (IEDS) and tries to find patterns that might predict recovery. If you are a diver who has had IEDS, your participation could help improve understanding and future treatments.
This study checks whether certain personal factors can predict who may get “immersion pulmonary edema,” a condition where fluid builds up in the lungs after water exposure and diving. If you’re a diver, your results may help tailor safety steps and reduce risk.
This study tests whether breathing small amounts of hydrogen gas can reduce the harmful effects of too much oxygen on the lungs and brain during deep dives. It may help protect divers from oxygen toxicity.
This study tests whether exercising in a high-oxygen environment can help build stronger muscles faster. Researchers will have you do resistance training (like weightlifting) in a special chamber with extra oxygen to see if it boosts your muscle gains.
