Percutaneous Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation by Oxygen-Ozone Injection A Clinical Study of 322 Cases

چکیده
We studied the clinical effect of oxygen-ozone treatment of lumber disc herniation. Oxygen-ozone was administered by percutaneous injection (35-yong/ml), 6-15 ml into the intralumbar disc, and a few patients needed re-injection 48 hours later. We treated 323 patients with 433 discs with a total effective rate of 77.7%. Treatment of lumber disc herniation by oxygen-ozone was simple, safe and effective. With minimal trauma, oxygen-ozone not only oxidizes the proteoglycan in the nucleus, leading to its contraction, but also has an anti-inflammatory effect and alleviates pain. No complications of treatment have been encountered so far.

Oxygen-ozone intradiscal and periganglionic injection is a minimally invasive procedure first applied clinically in the peridural treatment of lumbar sciatic pain and lumbar disk herniation. A reduction in herniated disk volume is one of the therapeutic aims of the gas mixture, as disk shrinkage may reduce nerve root compression. Another reason for using medical ozone to treat disk herniation i...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Oxygen-ozone therapy is a minimally invasive treatment for lumbar disk herniation that exploits the biochemical properties of a gas mixture of oxygen and ozone. We assessed the therapeutic outcome of oxygen-ozone therapy and compared the outcome of administering medical ozone alone with the outcome of medical ozone followed by injection of a corticosteroid and an anesthet...

Background & Aims: Between 5% and 15% of patients with low back pain suffer from lumbar disc herniation, so intervertebral disc disease is one of the most common causes of low back pain. Surgical intervention for lumbar disc herniation is recommended in patients with severe symptoms and has hopeful results. Although surgery can reduce pain and improve physical function in the short term, its lo...
