answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/09/2021 answer text <p>The Department is not currently making any recommendations regarding hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment (HBOT) for long COVID due to a lack of scientific evidence to support its use.</p><p>There have been two long COVID research calls launched by the National Institute for Health Research and UK Research and Innovation, resulting in 19 funded projects. The calls specifically asked for projects investigating possible therapies for long COVID and a number of studies of this type have been funded. HBOT has not formed part of any application to either of these calls. Other ongoing calls are open and available for long COVID research applications and if a project on HBOT for long COVID was received, it would be considered.</p><p>The Department is aware of clinical trials currently taking place internationally, which are researching the use of HBOT for long COVID.</p> answering member constituency Bury St Edmunds answering member printed Jo Churchill question first answered 06/09/2021 16:58:24 answering member 4380 label Biography information for Jo Churchill
