Status unconfirmed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors, Cognitive/Functional Effects, Radiation Toxicity
In brief
RATIONALE: Hyperbaric oxygen may increase blood flow and decrease swelling in areas of the brain damaged by radiation therapy. Giving hyperbaric oxygen therapy together with dexamethasone may be an effective treatment for radiation necrosis of the brain. PURPOSE: This randomized clinical trial is studying how well hyperbaric oxygen therapy works in treating patients with radiation necrosis of the brain.
