Treatment of herniated lumbar disc by intradiscal and intraforaminal oxygen-ozone (O2-O3) injection.
MATERIAL We report our experience between May 1996 and May 2003 with 2200 patients affected by low back pain or sciatica due to herniated disk treated by intradiscal and intraforaminal oxygen-ozone injection. The patients received medical and physical therapy before treatment for at least 2 months; the patients with conus-cauda syndrome and hyperalgesic sciatica were excluded. We never performe...
متن کاملThe Italian Oxygen-Ozone Therapy Federation (FIO) Study on Oxygen-Ozone Treatment of Herniated Disc
Oxygen-ozone intradiscal and periganglionic injection is a minimally invasive procedure first applied clinically in the peridural treatment of lumbar sciatic pain and lumbar disk herniation. A reduction in herniated disk volume is one of the therapeutic aims of the gas mixture, as disk shrinkage may reduce nerve root compression. Another reason for using medical ozone to treat disk herniation i...
متن کاملPercutaneous Treatment of Lumbar Disc Herniation by Oxygen-Ozone Injection A Clinical Study of 322 Cases
We studied the clinical effect of oxygen-ozone treatment of lumber disc herniation. Oxygen-ozone was administered by percutaneous injection (35-yong/ml), 6-15 ml into the intralumbar disc, and a few patients needed re-injection 48 hours later. We treated 323 patients with 433 discs with a total effective rate of 77.7%. Treatment of lumber disc herniation by oxygen-ozone was simple, safe and eff...
متن کاملIntradiscal injection of oxygen-ozone gas mixture for the treatment of cervical disc herniations.
For disc herniations the use of open surgical approaches is reduced since new percutaneous methods allowing shrinkage of the disc and improvement of the radicular function are gaining interest. Studies on the spontaneous disappearance of disc fragments have demonstrated autoimmune responses with a chronic inflammatory reaction. Also radicular pain has been shown to be mostly due to biochemical ...
متن کاملMini-thoracotomy or thoracoscopic treatment for medially located thoracic herniated disc?
STUDY DESIGN A retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVE Comparison of the mini-thoracotomy (mini-TTA) and thoracoscopy for the treatment of calcified thoracic herniated disc. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Thoracoscopy has been popularized at the cost of the traditional thoracotomy for the treatment of calcified herniated discs. However, the learning curve is steep. Given the low incidence of hern...
