Chronic pain is defined as pain lasting over six months, ranging from mild to severe, and can be constant or intermittent. It affects both physical and emotional health due to its prolonged impact on the nervous system.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) has shown effectiveness in reducing chronic pain, particularly in conditions like fibromyalgia, complex regional pain syndrome, myofascial pain syndrome, migraines, and cluster headaches. By increasing oxygen levels in the body, HBOT helps alleviate pain and promote healing.
