@mlee5309, You might want to look through discussion and comments on hyperbaric treatments for neuropathy I found using the search on Connect - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=hyperbaric+treatments+for+neuropathy.

Also, there is a 2021 research article that might provide more information for you.

I tried hyperbaric chamber sessions for 12 weeks with no change in my peripheral neuropathy pain. In actuality, I was sent to the chamber to promote the healing of a wound on my right foot from a metatarsal amputation. The wound did not heal any faster either so I don't know why hyperbaric chambers should be recommended for anything beyond preventing the "bends" in divers.
