Treatment of Raynaud phenomenon and ischemic ulcers associated to systemic sclerosis with hyperbaric oxygen.

We describe 4 patients with Raynaud's phenomenon associated with systemic sclerosis, 3 with ischaemic ulcers, successfully treated with hyperbaric oxygen. This therapy has been useful in the treatment of chronic wounds due to its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial and angiogenic effects. Hyperbaric oxygen treatment could be a therapeutic option in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon refractory to conventional treatment.
