Scleroderma

In Greek, Scleroderma means hardening of the skin. Scleroderma is a chronic connective tissue disease that is estimated to affect just over a quarter of a million Americans each year. One of the most obvious symptoms is hardening or tightening of the skin. Other symptoms of Scleroderma include joint pain, a heightened reaction to cold temperatures, and acid reflux, in addition to potential problems to the heart, lungs, or kidney.

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) can accelerate the healing of ischemic wounds that can result from Scleroderma.

HBOT for Scleroderma

HBOT benefits patients with Scleroderma in the following ways: 

  • Reduces edema/inflammation
  • Enhances oxygen availability to injured tissue
  • Promotes fibroblast proliferation/collagen synthesis, decreasing fibrosis
  • Enhances antibiotic efficacy
  • Reduces incidence of infection due to the enhancement of leukocyte oxidative killing
  • Increases tensile strength of healed tissue
  • Increases angiogenesis
