Clinical trials: Decompression Illness
Decompression Sickness
Prediction & Mechanisms of Recovery Following IEDS
Inner Ear Decompression sickness (IEDS) accounts for 20% of all types of decompression sickness (the bends) in divers. The condition commonly affects the peripheral vestibular system (inner ear).
