Background:
The social impact and economic burden of low back pain are well known among the medical community. A novel therapeutic approach is represented by oxygen-ozone therapy, whose anti-inflammatory effects could be especially useful in patients with herniated discs. The most common administration is through a palpation-guided injection technique, although the use of ultrasound guidance could allow a more precise delivery of the therapeutic substance close to the nerve root.
Aim Of The Study:
To describe the clinical outcomes following US-guided periradicular injection of oxygen-ozone as a treatment option for low back pain associated to sciatica in patients affected by symptomatic L5-S1 disc herniation.
Conclusion:
Ultrasound-guided periradicular injection of oxygen-ozone in L5-S1 herniation is a safe and effective minimally invasive treatment, able to improve both low back and radiating pain.
