Oxygen treatment for severe soft tissue infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial tests whether hyperbaric oxygen (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room) helps treat necrotizing fasciitis and similar severe soft tissue infections. It aims to improve healing and outcomes for people with these serious infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years old or older.
- You must have a confirmed necrotizing soft tissue infection (a serious infection that kills tissue).
- You must be able to sign a consent form, either yourself or through a caregiver.
- You cannot be pregnant.
- You must be expected to survive and be able to undergo surgery to remove dead tissue.

This study tests a new way to measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in your blood during hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen under high pressure). It might help doctors better monitor how well your body is responding to this treatment for a severe infection.
This study looks at what factors are linked to higher risk of death in patients hospitalized with a severe, flesh-eating infection called necrotizing soft tissue infection (NSTI). It aims to help doctors better identify and treat these dangerous infections.
This trial tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy to standard care helps adults with a serious soft-tissue infection. It could improve healing and reduce complications.
This trial studies a rare but serious infection called necrotizing soft-tissue infection (NSTI), which destroys tissue quickly. It looks at how patients are treated in hospitals across Europe to improve care.
This study tests whether adding hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber) to standard surgery improves healing of bone infections (fracture-related infections) in the leg. It may help if you have an ongoing infection after a broken leg bone.
This trial looks at using hyperbaric oxygen treatment for new or less common conditions. If you've been referred for this therapy, you may join to help doctors learn more about how it works.
