Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for optic nerve damage
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision clinical trials.
This study tests if breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people with optic neuropathy, a condition that damages the nerve connecting the eye to the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- You must have optic neuropathy (damage to the nerve that connects your eye to your brain) diagnosed by a doctor.
- You need to be able to attend all study visits and follow instructions.
- You must understand and sign a consent form; if you cannot read it, it will be read to you.
- You cannot have had hyperbaric oxygen therapy in the last 6 months.
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial studies whether electrical stimulation can help improve vision in people with glaucoma-related optic nerve damage. You may qualify if your visual field test shows moderate to severe loss and your eye pressure is stable.
This study looks at how the optic nerve (the part of your eye that sends images to your brain) strains or bends in people who do not have glaucoma. It uses advanced eye imaging and home pressure checks to understand the nerve's health.
This trial tests whether a home-based exercise program can lower eye pressure and protect the optic nerve in people with glaucoma. It is designed for patients whose eye pressure is already controlled by medication.
This study uses a special imaging test (OCT angiography) to look at blood flow around the optic nerve in people with advanced glaucoma. It aims to better understand how glaucoma affects eye circulation, which may help improve future care.
This study tests if a gentle electrical current, like a light flicker, can help people with optic neuropathy (damage to the nerve connecting the eye to the brain). You would attend 30 sessions over 8 weeks. It might improve your vision if you still have some sight left.
This study uses multiple non-invasive imaging methods to evaluate blood flow in the optic nerve head for people with acute or chronic optic nerve conditions, including NAION, optic neuritis, LHON, and NTG.
