Ozone therapy for low back pain. A systematic review.

CONCLUSIONS: Only a small number of poor quality studies on ozone effect in low back pain and disc herniation were available for inclusion in our review. Nevertheless, these reported an improvement in pain and functional scores with its application. Complications, mostly minor, but potentially serious are underreported. Additional studies with adequate and consistent methodologies are needed before the role of ozone can be established in the management of low back pain.
