Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is an observational research study whose purposes are to see the effects of repeated hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatments on the levels of stem/progenitor cells in peripheral circulating blood following five days of treatment, 90 minutes per day at 2.0 atmospheres absolute in 100% USP Grade Oxygen. Hyperbaric oxygen has a greater oxygen concentration than air at sea level. In this research, the concentration of oxygen will be twice the level of oxygen at sea level.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

Six healthy adult individuals (18-65 yrs), with no current, ongoing infection or chronic disease will be recruited for this study. Treatment study subjects will undergo a daily exposure to 2.0 ATA, 100% Oxygen for 90 minutes over 5 days.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment

Intervention Type OTHER

Hyperabric oxygen will be delivered via a PerryPerry-Sigma Monoplace Hyperbaric Chambers. Oxygen is supplied by Air Gas, Seattle.

All gases will meet Health Standards for oxygen and air. The hyperbaric chamber technicians employed by Restorix Health are trained health personnel who will be assisting our study participant and monitoring the HBO treatment. Oxygen will be delivered at a pressure of 2.0 ATA for 90 minutes, once a day for 5 consective days.

Baseline

Two healthy study subjects with no current, ongoing infection or chronic disease will be rectuited to serve as a baseline group. Study subjects will not be exposed to HBO, but will have blood drawn at the same time as the treatment group.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Patients recruited will be healthy volunteers with no current, ongoing infection or chronic disease.

Exclusion Criteria

We will exclude or delay the treatment if our patients have an active lung infection, develops cancer, if the patient cannot undergo pressurization/ depressurization because of eustachian-tube dysfunction and confinement anxiety. Any patient that cannot breathe without a respirator will be excluded.
