*A 2008 systematic literature review<ref name=":1" /> found a small number of studies (1 prospective clinical study, 3 experimental studies with healthy subjects, 5 case reports, and 3 experience reports). The studies described improvement in almost all cases, although the methodological quality of most studies was weak. The main indications were metabolic/internal, and psychiatric/neurologic.

* In 2016, a study was conducted using high-speed camera on the nature of droplet formation on the oil dispersion bath apparatus. The droplet size tends to increase at higher flow rates. A maximum is about 10µm at 5l/min and about 15µm at 10l/min.<ref>{{Cite journal| doi = 10.1002/pamm.201610288| volume = 16| pages = 599–600| last1 = Höffmann| first1 = Ann| last2 = Lakshmanan| first2 = Peter| last3 = Ehrhard| first3 = Peter| last4 = Ostermann| first4 = Thomas| title = The Jungebad apparatus for the production of oil-dispersion baths: The Jungebad apparatus| journal = PAMM| date = 2016-10-01}}</ref>
