General Question · S1O-02652 · Session 1
What its policy is in relation to the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis sufferers.
The question
To ask the Scottish Executive what its policy is in relation to the use of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for multiple sclerosis sufferers.
The answer
Although hyperbaric oxygen therapy may give symptomatic relief to some multiple sclerosis sufferers, there is no clinical evidence to suggest that it is in any way effective in arresting the progress of multiple sclerosis. There is therefore no national policy or national arrangements for the provision of this therapy.
