METHODS A retrospective study of spinal cord injury (SCI) treated with and without hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy. OBJECTIVE To report on the use of HBO in spinal cord injury. METHODS Neurosurgical Unit, Tokyo, Japan. METHODS Thirty-four cases of hyperextension spinal cord injury without bone damage and previous history of surgical intervention were divided into two groups, with (HBO) or without (non-HBO) therapy. The neurological findings at admission and their outcomes were evaluated by means of Neurological Cervical Spine Scale (NCSS)1 and the average improvement rates in individual groups were compared. RESULTS The improvement rate ranged from 100% to 27.3% with the mean value of 75. 2% in the HBO group, while these values were 100%, 25.0% and 65.1% respectively in the non HBO group. CONCLUSIONS In the HBO group, the improvement rate indicated effectiveness in acute traumatic cervical spinal cord injury.
