The role of hyperbaric oxygen treatment in the management of spondylodiscitis
Combination HBOT with targeted antibiotic therapy effectively managed our cohort of patients diagnosed with spondylodiscitis. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment was safe, with no complications experienced. Moreover, HBOT may have helped to eliminate persistence and recurrence of symptoms with long term follow-up. A randomised controlled study with a larger number of patients is needed for more definitive conclusions.
