Excessive opioid usage such as codeine can lead to anxiety, dose dependency, and addiction. Furthermore, drug addiction induce intoxication and in some case death. Several approach can be done to treat codein abuse. Hyberbaric oxygen is one of the therapy choices, considered that it can be used as main and supporting management. Related studies said increasing level of Nitric Oxide (NO) and Dopaminergic, main substances in drug addiction, can be inhibited by hyperbaric oxygen therapy thus it has the potential value to reduce narcotic addiction such as codeine. However, the review papers of previous research is rare. Therefore, this article discussed codeine, hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBO), and its relation to decrease level of codein addiction, based on scientific literatures. In conclusion, HBO treatment has a potential correlation to minimize the effects of opioid withdrawal, since it can induce nitric oxide and involves the control of monoaminergic neurotransmitters that reduce withdrawal effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
