Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for bone infections after injury
Part of Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You have a confirmed or strongly suspected bone infection in your lower leg that happened after a fracture (break).
- You are scheduled to have surgery to treat this infection.
- You have not had the infection for less than 6 weeks after your initial injury, or if you have, your treatment plan does not fit a specific simple procedure without tissue repair.
- You are able to understand Dutch or English.
- You do not have any of the conditions that make hyperbaric oxygen therapy unsafe (e.g., untreated collapsed lung, epilepsy, certain lung or ear conditions, severe claustrophobia, pregnancy, high body mass index).

This study is following patients who have surgery for a broken bone to see how often they get an infection at the surgery site. By tracking these infections, doctors hope to learn better ways to prevent and treat them.
This trial tests if hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) helps people with a recent hamstring strain recover faster and return to sports or duty. It is for adults with an injury that happened within the last 7 days.
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 trial is testing whether hyperbaric oxygen therapy (breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber) can help heal diabetic foot ulcers. It is for people with diabetes who have a foot ulcer that is not healing well.
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 study tests whether breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber before surgery can improve outcomes for people with early-stage avascular necrosis (bone death) in the hip. It may help preserve the hip and reduce the need for a hip replacement.
