Background: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic disease that causes widespread pain, fatigue, and sleep disturbance. There is still no effective definitive treatment method; therefore, the search for treatment continues.
Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of ozone therapy (OT), which has been used in FM treatment in recent years, as an additional treatment.
Objective: In this study we investigate the effects of paravertebral ozone injections (POI), which have been used as a new treatment approach for lower back pain in recent years, on pain and physical activity in patients with acute lumbar disc herniation (LDH) as an additional treatment.
Methods: Thirty-eight patients were assigned into the ozone therapy (OT) group (n= 20) and placebo control (PC) group (n= 18). Both groups received two sessions per week, a total of 8 sessions of lumbar POI.
