IC/FM Patients
All patients had been diagnosed with fibromyalgia and were suffering from IC by standard criteria.
Intermittent Exposure to Oxygen via Oro-Nasal Mask
Patients were exposed to breathing 100% oxygen at 2 atmospheres absolute (ATA) in a multiplace pressure chamber for 90 minutes using an oro-nasal mask for 40 treatments over a 2 month period.
