People with MS find that oxygen therapy assists with the alleviation of all symptoms, particularly fatigue, incontinence, pain and muscle control. Many have been using it successfully for over 25 years. Oxygen therapy has also been shown to reduce deterioration with long-term use.

It also helps people with many conditions apart from MS. There can be rapid recovery from sports injuries. Some NHS hospitals refer patients with osteo-radionecrosis, and many centres have patients with diabetic ulcers, cerebral palsy and stroke. Yet oxygen therapy is rarely prescribed through the NHS and then only via private contractors who are members of the British Hyperbaric Association. Because of the costs associated with delivery by this route, oxygen therapy is rarely given to those who need it. Many MS therapy centres are able to offer the service to people with other conditions at a relatively low cost where capacity is available.
