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 study investigates the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on insulin resistance in postmenopausal women aged 55-65 with a BMI of 30-34.9 kg/m². Participants will receive hyperbaric oxygen therapy alongside hypoglycemic drugs to assess improvements in blood glucose levels and overall function. The study aims to identify clinical predictors that could enhance treatment efficiency and prevent complications associated with insulin resistance. By focusing on this demographic, the research seeks to address a significant public health issue in Egypt related to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.
