Hyperbaric oxygen for severe skin infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This trial is testing whether giving extra oxygen in a special chamber (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) can help treat a serious, deep-skin infection. You may qualify if you've been diagnosed with this infection and are well enough for surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have a fast-spreading infection in the deep skin or muscle (called necrotizing fasciitis or a necrotizing soft tissue infection) that was diagnosed by a doctor.
- You (or a family member or friend) can understand and sign a consent form.
- You are not pregnant.
- You are expected to survive and be able to have surgery if needed.

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.
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 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 hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help heal skin flaps that are not getting enough blood after breast cancer surgery. It may prevent tissue death and improve recovery.
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 tests whether giving extra treatments with hyperbaric (pressure) oxygen after a leg amputation can improve healing or recovery. It’s meant for people whose amputation happened due to long-lasting infection or poor blood flow and who can attend follow-up visits.
