Multiple sclerosis is an immune-mediated disease affecting the brain and spinal cord. Damage to myelin and nerve pathways can affect vision, movement, sensation, balance and energy. Symptoms and disease course vary widely between individuals.
HBOT has been studied for MS for decades. Although some reports describe improvements, a review of randomized evidence found no clinically significant overall benefit and did not recommend routine HBOT for MS. The older resources below show the history of this research and differing views, rather than establishing that HBOT slows the disease. Neurology-led treatment, symptom management and rehabilitation remain central to care.
