Leading Research about HBOT
Not all research is free (sorry, not our doing). But if you copy and paste the titles or the "doi:" you can see at least the abstracts.
This list is ever growing and is largely made possible by the great Dr. Jason Sonners of HBOT USA located in Florham Park, NJ. He is a great resource for all things HBOT and is paramount in the education of up and coming clinicians. He has been an indispensable resource for us here at Integrated Hyperbarics and we cannot thank him enough.

More than 60 treatment protocols have been described for sudden sensorineural hearing loss, but the majority of these are not efficacious. The three most promising treatments include corticosteroids, vasodilators, and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Of these, only hyperbaric oxygen has sufficient randomized controlled trials to have a positive meta-analysis Cochrane review. The Undersea and Hyperbaric Medical Society (UHMS) lists it as an approved condition for the use of HBOT. And yet the FDA still does not approve it. Follow the research and find a HBOT clinic near you especially in the first 3 days as that is when it is the MOST effective.

Photobiomodulation Therapy Research
There is more research coming out that indicates that IR light is responsible for charging the entire body to do the work it does. From the Melano-cortical pathway described by Jack Kruse, to the use as a stimulus for mitochondrial Melatonin as described by Dr. Eric Berg, IR light is being sought as an essential need for the human body to function and even more important to operate at a maximal level. Take a look through this list of topics on IR light but know that there is far more than appears here. If you have any questions, or want to know more about light and quantum physics and how it works on the body, contact us and we will gladly nerd out about it in a way you can understand.
2021 - Gemba Red offers a blog to dispel the marketing claims of IR light manufacturers vs the science behind how deep the light can penetrate. Great wrap up of the "How it works" side of Red Lights. The most important thing to remember is that the body was made to absorb IR light and deliver the energy to the rest of the body like a solar panel. The muscles, brain and liver were never supposed to be exposed to it so IR light is not supposed to go that deep. But the more time you spend absorbing the energy the more you get. Check out their blog here How Deep Does Red and Near-Infrared Light Penetrate into the Body? Mar – GembaRed
