About this study

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO) is applied for several diseases. The effect on insulin sensitivity is yet unknown. Hypothesis: HBO therapy improves insulin sensitivity in patients.

Read the detailed description

HBO therapy is applied to improve wound healing in diabetic patients with foot ulcera. However, it might induce oxidative stress as well as improve antioxidative capacity. The effects on insulin sensitivity in humans and will be tested in the study.

Being tested
HBO therapy, Hyperbaric room air
Keywords
Oxidative stress, Insulin resistance
Medical subject headings
Obesity, Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2, Insulin Resistance

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing HBO therapy and Hyperbaric room air in people with Obesity and Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus, run by German Diabetes Center at 1 site in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 18 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jun 2023.
