Historically,
hyperbaric medicine grew out of the problems encountered by divers ascending
from deep waters. Today, HBOT is approved by the FDA for use in decompression
illness, air embolism, blood loss, bone infections, burns, crush injuries,
soft-tissue infections, smoke inhalation/carbon monoxide poisoning, intra-cranial
abscess, non-healing wounds, gangrene, radiation tissue damage, and skin grafts.
Other
conditions are considered "off-label" use of HBOT. There is strong
scientific evidence for a number of these conditions that HBOT is effective,

Nevertheless, because these conditions are off-label, by law no claims of
efficacy can be made, even though it works.

that may benefit from HBOT include,
