Study summary

The expectation of our study was to explore the efficacy of using hyperbaric oxygen to rescue flap ischaemic necrosis after breast cancer surgery.

Read the detailed description

Hyperbaric oxygen is commonly used to improve tissue oxygen saturation rescue flap ischemia, and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers. In the current study, there are also a number of case reports attempting to explore the role of hyperbaric oxygen in the treatment of postoperative skin flaps and nipple areola necrosis after breast surgery and significant efficacy has been obtained. Our study expects to use the treatment of hyperbaric oxygen to save patients with signs of flap ischemic necrosis after breast cancer surgery and to improve the quality of life and prognosis of patients.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. understand the study procedure, participate in the study voluntarily and sign the form
  2. aged ≥ 18 years and ≤ 60 years, female
  3. 0-2
  4. patients with The SKIN Score Degree of B-D and The SKIN area of 1-3 in the Clavien-Dindo classification after breast cancer surgery;

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. to hyperbaric oxygen therapy: lung disease (severe chronic obstructive airway disease, herpetic lung disease, acute or chronic lung infection, uncontrolled asthma, untreated pneumothorax), history of previous middle ear surgery, middle ear disease (Eustachian tube dysfunction, recurrent episodes of vertigo), eye disease (retinal detachment).
  2. Pregnancy or lactation.
  3. any other condition that the investigators think the patient is unsuitable for participation in the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    hyperbaric oxygen group

    The hyperbaric group is given a total of 30-40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (100% oxygen at a pressure of 2.0 ATA) and povidone-iodine wet compresses.

    Device: hyperbaric oxygen therapy and povidone-iodine wet compresses

  • Active comparator
    Normal group

    The control group is given wet compresses of povidone-iodine.

    Other: wet compresses of povidone-iodine

Interventions

  • Devicehyperbaric oxygen therapy and povidone-iodine wet compresses

    The hyperbaric oxygen group receives 30-40 sessions of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (100% oxygen at a pressure of 2.0 ATA) and povidone-iodine wet compresses.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The SKIN Area Score of Clavien-Dindo classification

    Time frame: At baseline, weekly during HBO treatment (up to 8 weeks), 2 weeks after the end of HBO treatment, 4 weeks after the end of HBO treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. NAC necrosis Degree

    Time frame: At baseline, weekly during HBO treatment (up to 8 weeks), 2 weeks after the end of HBO treatment, 4 weeks after the end of HBO treatment

  2. Number of times for hyperbaric oxygen treatment

    Time frame: at the end of the study (at 3 month)

  3. Interval between surgery and hyperbaric oxygen treatment

    Time frame: baseline

  4. Breast-Q questionnaire

    The BREAST-Q is a rigorously developed patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) designed to evaluate outcomes among women undergoing different types of breast surgery from the patient perspective.

    Time frame: At baseline, end of hyperbaric oxygen treatment(at 6-8 weeks), 2 weeks after end of hyperbaric oxygen treatment, 4 weeks after end of hyperbaric oxygen treatment

  5. side effects of hyperbaric oxygen treatment

    Time frame: During hyperbaric oxygen therapy

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jan 2025; primary completion for Jan 2026, 12 months later.

Of 71 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Ischemia, half reached primary completion within 33 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 46. This study's planned 12 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 82 studies reached it within 33 months; a quarter within 16 and three quarters within 48.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 6, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
