Hyperbaric oxygen for ischemic stroke recovery
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover after a recent ischemic stroke. It is open to stroke survivors admitted to Touro's inpatient rehab unit.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You had an ischemic stroke (blocked blood vessel) 7 to 30 days ago.
- You are admitted to Touro Hospital's inpatient rehab unit.
- You did not have major bleeding in the brain from the stroke.
- You can follow safety instructions (like how to avoid ear pain in the pressure chamber).
- You do not have a lung disease that requires daily oxygen or regular inhalers/steroids.
- You have not had uncontrolled seizures in the last 3 months.

This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people recover better after having a stroke caused by a large clot in the front part of the brain. It is for people who recently had a clot removal procedure and have some remaining disability but are still awake and aware.
This study tests a combination of gentle brain-protecting treatments (temperature, oxygen, positioning, and nerve stimulation) given alongside standard clot-busting therapy for recent strokes. The goal is to see if the combination can help improve recovery and reduce disability after a stroke.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help recovery after emergency clot-removal surgery for large blood vessel strokes. The goal is to see if extra oxygen can reduce brain damage and improve outcomes.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) helps people recover from traumatic brain injury. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can improve healing for patients starting rehabilitation.
This study tests if breathing pure oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help people who have been depressed since having a stroke. It may offer a new way to treat depression that hasn't improved with standard medications.
This study tests whether giving high concentration oxygen (called normobaric hyperoxia) during a standard clot-removal procedure (endovascular therapy) can improve recovery after a large-vessel stroke. It's for people who are treated later, within 6 to 24 hours of symptoms starting.
