There is no NEAK (National Health Insurance of Hungary) support for hyperbaric oxygen therapy treatment, the patient has to pay for the treatment. The public foundation "Our Healing Place Lenti" is intended to support the cost of HBOT treatments, so we are doing our best to raise funds for it. OTP account number: 11749022-20039390-00000000

Claustrophobia can be a partial exclusion for hyperbaric oxygen therapy, as the chamber space is closed, there is an overpressure of 2.5 atmospheres during the treatment, and the chamber space can only be exited through the airlock. The strength of the HBOT indication and the magnitude and nature of the claustrophobia also matter. Nevertheless, using cognitive therapy techniques, we will do our best to control the claustrophobia and provide the necessary treatment if there is a sufficient indication. Several patients with claustrophobia have already undergone therapy in justified cases.
