HBOT for late radiation tissue injury: who benefits and when

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational cohort study documents patients with late radiation tissue injury after radiotherapy who received hyperbaric oxygen therapy at Karolinska University Hospital. It aims to describe treatment patterns, timing, and patient characteristics, and to explore associations with outcomes and quality of life. The study will analyze data over time to identify factors linked to better symptom relief and functional improvement. It does not assign treatments but observes real-world use of HBOT in this setting. Findings could inform which patients derive the most benefit and optimal timing for HBOT initiation.
