* The formal Cochrane review is in press but results have been published by Schnabel et al. 19<br />

Our search also yielded several HTA reports. A few of the recent technology<br />

assessments covered the whole domain of HBOT. 14, 37, 38 Other HTA reports focussed<br />

on specific indications only, and will be addressed with the specific indications where<br />

relevant.<br />

The Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials reveals 20 registered RCTs<br />

between 2005 and 2007.<br />

Most of these trials investigate miscellaneous indications not-accepted by the two large<br />

hyperbaric medical communities, or therapies adjuvant to HBOT. Only two of these<br />

deal with CO intoxication (one RCT, 39 and a longitudinal study on affective outcome 40 )<br />

one deals with radio induced lesion, 17 and two with diabetic ulcers. 18, 41 The RCT<br />

database from the National Institutes of Health (NIH, www.clinicaltrials.gov) lists 31<br />

ongoing or recently completed trials on HBOT. A European Cost B14 program was<br />

started in 1998 and after prolongation ended in March 2005. 42 In addition to the<br />

development of a database, a common website (www.oxynet.org, a function now largely<br />

taken over by www.echm.org) and safety protocols for hyperbaric facilities, this<br />

collaboration also developed several research protocols for RCTs that were reportedly<br />

started in 2001 and 2002 (http://www.oxynet.org/ProtocolsIndex.htm). The status of<br />

these studies remains, however, unclear and it was confirmed that these RCTs were<br />

delayed due to lack of funding and are unlikely to provide results within the next 2 or 3<br />

years (personal communication D. Mathieu). Table 5 lists the RCTs currently in the NIH<br />

clinical trials database.
