Hyperbaric oxygen for the treatment of traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

The therapeutic efficacy of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury remains a subject of debate. To comprehensively evaluate the impact of hyperbaric oxygen on motor function, sensory function, and activities of daily living in patients with traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis. We performed a comprehensive search across PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and major Chinese databases for randomized controlled trials published through June 2025. A total of 15 randomized controlled trials were included. The pooled results indicated that hyperbaric oxygen therapy significantly improved the American Spinal Injury Association motor score (mean difference = 10.30, 95% confidence interval: 7.70-12.90), the total American Spinal Injury Association sensory score (mean difference = 29.29, 95% confidence interval: 18.82-39.75), the American Spinal Injury Association light touch score (mean difference = 9.84, 95% confidence interval: 6.15-13.53), and the American Spinal Injury Association pinprick score (mean difference = 8.75, 95% confidence interval: 4.40-13.11). Furthermore, hyperbaric oxygen therapy was associated with significant enhancements in the Barthel Index (mean difference = 16.60, 95% confidence interval: 10.51-22.68) and the Functional Independence Measure (mean difference = 17.41, 95% confidence interval: 10.83-23.98). In conclusion, adjunctive hyperbaric oxygen therapy appears to improve motor function, sensory function, and activities of daily living in patients with traumatic incomplete spinal cord injury compared to conventional treatments alone. However, due to methodological limitations and potential publication bias in the included studies, these findings should be interpreted with caution, and further high-quality, multi-center randomized controlled trials are warranted.

Modulating sentence comprehension in people with aphasia through anodal tDCS: A double-blind randomized cross-over study.

This double-blind randomized cross-over study investigated the effects of perilesional anodal transcranial direct current stimulation (AtDCS) combined with speech-language therapy on sentence comprehension in eight individuals with chronic nonfluent agrammatic aphasia. The behavioral therapy consisted of an intensive comprehension treatment including drilling in sentence-to-picture matching and Mapping Therapy. Each participant underwent both the anodal tDCS and sham stimulation conditions (five received sham first followed by real stimulation, and the remaining three the reverse sequence), with each condition paired with the same behavioral treatment and separated by a four-month washout period. Stimulation was applied over the perilesional area (left BA6) for 20 min during daily 40-min therapy sessions over four consecutive weeks. Sentence comprehension was assessed with the RiComprendo battery and functional communication with the Communicative Effectiveness Index (CETI). Data were analyzed using paired t-tests, Bayesian analyses, and linear mixed-effects models to control for baseline performance and individual variability. Both stimulation conditions produced significant pre-to-post improvements in sentence comprehension, particularly for syntactically complex structures such as passives and center-embedded object relatives. However, gains were overall greater following AtDCS, as reflected in larger effect sizes, stronger Bayes factors, and a significant treatment effect in the mixed-effects models. Only the AtDCS condition yielded significant improvements in self-perceived comprehension abilities on the CETI. These findings suggest that AtDCS over perilesional cortical areas may boost the effects of traditional language therapy on sentence comprehension, supporting its feasibility and potential as an adjuvant intervention in post-stroke aphasia rehabilitation.
