Oxygen therapy in a high pressure chamber for PTSD
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This trial tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a high-pressure chamber can help reduce symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in military veterans. It involves 60 daily sessions over 12 weeks, and aims to include both men and women.
