Efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in treating fibromyalgia linked to childhood trauma after late-onset and over a decade of symptoms: a case report
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy promotes neuroplasticity, resulting in significant clinical improvements in fibromyalgia syndrome, including pain reduction, enhanced cognitive function, and improved physical mobility. These findings highlight the potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy as a therapeutic strategy targeting the core pathophysiology of fibromyalgia syndrome rather than solely managing symptoms.
