What condition is NOT typically treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy?

Chronic migraines are not typically treated with hyperbaric oxygen therapy, which is primarily used for conditions that involve specific physiological responses to increased oxygen levels in the body.

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy works by delivering pure oxygen to patients in a pressurized environment, which can enhance oxygen transport in the bloodstream and promote healing in certain medical conditions. Conditions such as carbon monoxide poisoning, wound healing, and decompression sickness benefit significantly from this treatment.

In contrast, chronic migraines generally involve complex neurological mechanisms that do not respond to hyperbaric oxygen therapy. Treatment for migraines usually focuses on preventive medications, lifestyle changes, and non-invasive interventions, rather than therapies that alter oxygen levels in the body.
