About this trial
The goal of this study is to learn if Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is able to accelerate and improve muscle healing following an acute hamstring injury. The main questions it aims to answer are:
1. Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy accelerates the time needed to return to play/-duty following hamstring injury. 2. Does Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy decrease the amount of reinjuries within 1 year following Return to play/-duty? Besides these questions this study will clinically and radiologically evaluate the healing process over time as well as the occurrence of (serious) adverse events.
