Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for hip avascular necrosis
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help people with early-stage avascular necrosis of the hip (a condition where the bone loses blood supply). It is done alongside a standard hip-saving surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have avascular necrosis (AVN) in the ball of your hip joint.
- The AVN must be at an early stage (called ARCO I or II) – meaning the hip has not collapsed yet.
- You must be able to have a specific type of hip surgery called core decompression with bone marrow concentrate.
- You cannot have other medical problems that make surgery unsafe, like severe obesity or serious heart/lung disease.
- You cannot be pregnant or a prisoner.
- You must be willing to sign a consent form and follow all study procedures.

This trial gives hyperbaric oxygen treatment to patients with conditions where it's not yet standard. It studies if the therapy can help people with emerging medical issues.
This trial tests whether injecting your own bone marrow into the hip can help heal early-stage osteonecrosis (bone death) before the bone collapses. It is for people who have not had prior hip surgery and do not have certain conditions like sickle cell disease.
This study tests a new treatment using stem cell exosomes injected into the hip joint for people with early-stage non-traumatic avascular necrosis of the femoral head (a condition where bone tissue in the hip dies due to poor blood supply, not caused by injury). The goal is to see if it is safe and may help improve hip function and pain.
This study is testing a new way to repair the damaged bone in your hip by using your own bone marrow stem cells. You may be a candidate if you have femoral head necrosis (hip bone death) that did not get better with standard treatments and you are otherwise healthy enough for surgery.
This study tests whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a special pressurized chamber) can help heal bone infections that develop after a leg injury. The therapy is given alongside surgery to clean and treat the infection.
This study checks if a new blood test (measuring carbon dioxide differences between veins and arteries) can help doctors better treat people with a severe infection in a high-pressure oxygen chamber. It is for critically ill patients already on life support.
