Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy was first introduced to Japan around 1963 for cardiac surgery (Wada and Iwa, Proceedings of the fourth international congress on hyperbaric medicine, Igaku Shoin, Tokyo, 1–549, 1970). But now this therapy is especially carried out in brain surgery hospitals because high medical insurance mark is recognized for stroke in Japan. However, the evidence to stroke is not established until now. The large clinical control studies should be needed to establish evidence-based medicine. |
