Conditions

Summary

Over 500 million people have been infected with COVID-19, and to date, more than 6 million people have died. Many individuals who have recovered from COVID-19 continue to experience symptoms even after they have been "cured" of the disease. This condition is known as post COVID-19 condition, which can have serious health consequences. A common symptom among these individuals is chronic fatigue, characterized by persistent tiredness or lack of energy. This study aims to explore a novel treatment for symptoms of post COVID-19 condition, known as hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This approach has shown promise in helping people with post COVID-19 conditions and treating some other causes of fatigue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy involves placing patients in a small chamber where they receive high oxygen gas levels. However, this treatment is expensive and time-consuming, and it is unclear if this treatment can be effectively assessed in a large-scale research study. This small study will help us decide if conducting a large research study is feasible. The investigators aim to assess if hyperbaric oxygen therapy can improve symptoms of post COVID-19 condition, such as fatigue.

Interventions

DEVICEMonoplace Hyperbaric Chamber (Class III medical device).

40 hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) treatments (90 minute exposures at 2 atmospheres (ATM) per treatment), scheduled daily from Monday to Friday (i.e., 5 treatments per week) until treatments are completed (approximately 8 weeks). Treatments will be delivered in a medical grade, Health Canada-approved monoplace hyperbaric chamber and overseen by specialist hyperbaric physicians and a Certified Hyperbaric Technologist. Device is being used in manner consistent with approved usage in Canada.
