Ninety-one
subjects completed a total of 1,995 hyperbaric oxygen treatments,
although nine were eliminated later due to the presence of another
medical problem not apparent during their treatments. These other
medical problems were such things as babesiosis, ehrlichosis,
hepatitis C, and previously unidentified neurological problems. Two
subjects were eliminated due to the development of septicemia from
IV catheters, and one because of recent breast cancer, although all
three of them later showed an improvement of Lyme symptoms with
hyperbaric oxygen administration.
Subject evaluation was carried out by an abbreviated questionnaire
taken from a standard questionnaire used by several Lyme specialists
as part of their evaluation. This questionnaire was designed so that
zero reflected no symptoms, while ten reflected severe symptoms.
Although additional statistical evaluation still is being carried
out, it appears that approximately 84.8% of those treated showed
significant improvement by a decrease or elimination of symptoms.
Only 12 subjects (13.1%) claimed no apparent benefit.
Before treatment, the subjects had an average score of 114.12 (of a
possible 270), and after treatment they averaged 49.27. This
reduction of 64.85 points was statistically significant in a paired
t-test (p=0.000). The variability of the scores from
patient-to-patient declined as well after the treatment series. The
standard deviation of the scores was 56.00 before and 44.14 after
treatment. The p-value of this reduction is 0.057 in a Fisher's
F-test. Further, 58% of the respondents had score reduction of 41.86
points or more.
All except one of the 91 subjects developed severe
Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction, usually appearing within the first 5
days of the beginning of hyperbaric oxygen treatment. In most cases,
the Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction continued throughout the series of
treatments, and in many instances continued for up to a month after
the treatments were finished. Most subjects then began to show major
improvement that in some instances has continued for 8 months.
