Nucleolysis, an injection therapy using ozone-oxygen mixtures, offers a minimally invasive option for herniated disc pain when conservative treatments fail. This ozone therapy provides pain relief for months with anti-inflammatory and perfusion benefits.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics and Regenerative Medicine
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures
  • Pain Management

Context:

  • Herniated disc-related back pain is a growing health concern in industrialized nations.
  • Conservative treatments for herniated discs are often insufficient.
  • Nucleolysis presents a minimally invasive alternative to surgical interventions.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate nucleolysis as a minimally invasive treatment for herniated disc pain.
  • To assess the efficacy of an ozone-oxygen mixture in nucleolysis.
  • To compare nucleolysis outcomes with other minimally invasive techniques.

Summary:

  • Nucleolysis involves injecting substances into the nucleus pulposus under CT guidance to reduce disc pressure.
  • An ozone-oxygen mixture shows promise due to its water-binding capacity, reducing pain for months.

  • Ozone therapy also offers anti-inflammatory effects, increased perfusion, and a low allergic potential.

    • Impact:

    • Nucleolysis with ozone-oxygen mixtures provides a viable, less invasive treatment option for debilitating herniated disc pain.
    • This approach may offer comparable or superior outcomes to other minimally invasive procedures like percutaneous nucleotomy or laser treatment.
    • Effective management of herniated disc pain can improve patient quality of life and reduce healthcare burdens.
