Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Acute Ischemic Stroke
Stroke 41:e185-e186, Bennett,M.H., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We did not find consistent evidence to show that HBOT improves clinical outcomes when applied during the acute presentation of ischemic stroke. Few of the included cases were truly acute (within 6 hours of symptom onset). Whereas evidence from the 6 randomized controlled trials is insufficient to provide clear guidelines for practice, the possibility of clinical benefit has not been excluded. Further research is required to better-define the role of HBOT in this condition.
