Objective To explore the specific effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in patients with viral encephalitis. Methods From March 2021 to May 2022, 66 patients with viral encephalitis were divided into control group and study group by double-blind method, with 33 cases in each group. The control group received conventional treatment, and the study group received hyperbaric oxygen therapy on top of the control group. The treatment effect of the two groups was compared, the disappearance time of core symptoms and the changes of related indicators before and after intervention were compared, and the incidence of complications was compared. Results The total effective rate and complication rate of the study group were 93.94% and 6.06%, which were better than that of the control group (72.73% and 24.24%, P<0.05). The disappearance time of core symptoms such as fever and vomiting in the study group was shorter than that in the control group, and the levels of serum S100B protein, NGF and serum oxidative stress response index were better than those in the control group, the difference was P<0.05. Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen therapy for patients with viral encephalitis is more beneficial to improve the core symptoms and improve the therapeutic effect, which is worthy of clinical reference.
