Twenty percent of the Spanish population suffers from chronic pain, and between 7 and 10% from neuropathic pain. This condition, mostly caused by nerve damage, causes people to feel intense and constant pain. Treatments are scarce and often involve a large number of adverse effects that affect the patients' quality of life.
For this reason, the Molecular Neuropharmacology research group, coordinated by Olga Pol at the Sant Pau Biomedical Research Institute and the UAB Institute of Neurosciences, is looking for new therapeutic possibilities that can help people who suffer from it.
Now in a study, they have analyzed the effects of administering to mice models of neuropathic pain water enriched with hydrogen molecules, a treatment that had already shown positive effects in neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and depression. The results point to this strategy as a very promising candidate for the treatment of neuropathic pain and associated emotional disorders, due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as its anxiolytic and antidepressant properties.
"This treatment can alleviate not only the pain caused by a nerve injury, but also the states of anxiety and depression that accompany it, which would substantially improve the patients' quality of life. This is important because it can allow a more effective and global treatment of neuropathic pain with fewer side effects," explains Olga Pol.
In the study, the treatment was administered to mice by injection, but in the future other routes will be tested, such as oral administration. The next steps will be to investigate how the treatment works in animal models of pain associated with chemotherapy, because many times cancer patients present neuropathic pain as a side effect of the treatment, as well as evaluating its effects on the memory and emotional deficits that these same patients can also suffer.

Hydrogen options and information from prior to this study, here:

Im sceptical but id give it a try, couldn’t be too hard to make.
I think electrolysis mettle cleaning machines produce hydrogen gas.
Molecular Hydrogen — The World’s Best Antioxidant?

I think molecular hydrogen would be extremely reactive, like fluorine gas.
I think I’ll wait to see more studies on this.

There is a complete snake oil industry available in the medical world that promises a solution for the constant pain. Treatment is expensive in these “neuropathy centers” and usually not covered by medical insurance. One center even displayed a crucifix on its wall. Treatment can include electroshock, injections, surgery and ir radiation but success rate is minimal and never guaranteed, and in my case, never achieved. Check U-tube and Amazon for snake oil treatment and products. Millions of sufferers await a sure-fire treatment for this dreaded disease.
You mean ATOMIC hydrogen. Natural hydrogen is molecular hydrogen.
Yes, you’re right. I misunderstood “molecular hydrogen,” which must just be plain old hydrogen, right?
Hydrogen, as it appears in nature, is in the form of molecular hydrogen, H2 Notification of atomic hydrogen is H+.
Fluorine is worse.
Incidentally, you do NOT want to screw around with Hydrogen Fluoride.
Water burns in a fluorine atmosphere.
Gets on your skin, goes to your bones, rots ‘em out from the inside.
Dihydrogen monoxide works well to flush out these toxins.
“One center even displayed a crucifix on its wall”
That’s a bizarre comment. Every Catholic health center displays crucifixes on its walls.
And asbestos glows...
Wooowww! Didn't know that, makes sense. Magnesium silicate.
This was not a Catholic health center. This was just another snakeoil neuropathy center without any beneficial treatment with up-front payment required.
