Ozone therapy shows promise for low back pain caused by lumbar disc herniation (LDH). While debated, current evidence suggests it

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Pain Management
  • Minimally Invasive Procedures

Background:

  • Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) frequently causes low back pain (LBP).
  • Conservative treatments for LBP are increasingly sought, especially for elderly populations.
  • Ozone therapy has emerged as a potential alternative to surgery for LDH.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and analyze current evidence on ozone therapy for LBP due to LDH.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and feasibility of percutaneous ozone injections for LDH.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review.
  • Quantitative analysis of available clinical data.
  • Investigation of percutaneous ozone therapy's role in LDH treatment.
Keywords:

Main Results:

  • Current evidence suggests ozone therapy is encouraging for LBP stemming from LDH.
  • Controversial results exist in published literature regarding efficacy.
  • The true clinical benefit of ozone injections for LDH requires further clarification.

Conclusions:

  • Ozone therapy presents a viable conservative option for LBP associated with LDH.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the benefits and limitations.
  • Conclusions should be interpreted considering the study's inherent limitations.
