Healing Wounds with Hydrogen: A New Hope for Radiation Therapy Patients
A recent study found that inhaling hydrogen gas can help refractory wounds heal faster and better, especially for patients who have undergone radiotherapy. This non-invasive treatment offers new hope for those with difficult-to-heal wounds. Hydrogen therapy is a promising area of research that may also benefit patients with other conditions.

Background
Conclusion: After HI therapy, the patient showed superior progress in reepithelialization and wound repair, with eventual wound closure in 6 mo, in comparison with the previous failures of hyperbaric oxygen and recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor therapies. Our work showed that HI therapy could be a new strategy for wound healing that is cleaner, more convenient, and less expensive than other therapies, as well as easily accessible for further application in clinical wound care.
