ALS Untangled Series: Ep. 23 - Hyperbaric Oxygen

Published: Nov. 13, 2019, 4:28 p.m.

Hyperbaric oxygen can increase heat shock proteins, which might be useful in decreasing oxidative stress and protein aggregation in ALS. It looked promising in animal models of ALS, and is associated with 1 validated case of “ALS reversal.” Unfortunately a clinical trial in patients with ALS showed no benefit and this can cause serious side effects.
