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.
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.
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.
医学界熟知腰痛的社会影响和经济负担。一种新的治疗方法是氧气-臭氧治疗，其抗炎作用在椎间盘突出症患者中可能特别有用。最常见的给药方式是经皮引导注射技术，尽管超声引导的使用可以更精确地将治疗物质输送到神经根附近。
描述超声引导下经皮神经根周围注射氧气-臭氧作为治疗伴有坐骨神经痛的腰痛的选择，这些患者患有症状性 L5-S1 椎间盘突出症。
超声引导下 L5-S1 椎间盘突出症的经皮神经根周围臭氧注射是一种安全有效的微创治疗方法，能够改善腰痛和放射痛。
