This systematic review and meta-analysis examined hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) in patients with fibromyalgia by compiling results from several clinical studies. The authors found that HBOT was associated in several studies with reduced pain, fewer tender points, less fatigue, and improved function and sleep, compared to control groups. Side effects were mostly mild and transient, and no serious complications were reported. The study shows that HBOT may possibly be effective and safe for certain fibromyalgia symptoms, but emphasizes the need for more and larger controlled studies to determine optimal treatment.
