Role of Oxygen-Ozone (O2-O3) Injection in Discogenic Pain
Journal Title: Journal of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences University - Year 2012, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Medical ozone is a mixture of oxygen-ozone (O2-O3) which can be used for several medical applications. Ozone chemonucleolysis by injecting mixture of oxygen-ozone is a minimally invasive technique to treat discogenic pain. Considering invasiveness and possible morbidity with surgery for discogenic pain, minimal invasive techniques are preferred. Ozone chemonucleolysis is currently available. This technique has shown promising results in recent years. It involves injection of ozone gas into the intervertebral disc under fluoroscopic guidance. The mechanism of action, indications, procedure and side effects of this technique are described in detail.
