Int roduction: Administration of an oxygen-ozone mixture is one of the innovative
techniques used in single-drug or complex therapeutic schemes for
treatment of many degenerative-dystrophic pathologies of the musculoskeletal
system and related neurological complications.
Aim: The aim was to determine the mechanisms of physiological action of the
oxygen-ozone mixture in order to substantiate its efficacy for treatment of chronic
pain syndrome with underlying degenerative-dystrophic pathologies of the
musculoskeletal system.
Ma t e r i a l and me thods : The article covers biochemical and pathomorphological
studies that explain the mechanism of the pain syndrome and the potential
effect of the ozone therapy.
Results and discussion: The treatment schemes and benefits of different
routes of ozone administration (intramuscularly, intravenously, intradiscally and
intraarticularly) were analyzed. Diverse research data demonstrated influence
on the causes of chronic pain, pathophysiological phases, and possible complications.
The prospects of further studies for development of the most effective
techniques for treatment of various pain syndromes were assessed.
Conclusions: Ozone therapy is one of the alternative rehabilitation methods
with a substantial pain relieving effect. As of today, the possibility of using the
oxygen-ozone mixture for treatment of chronic back pain related to intervertebral
disk hernia and fibromyalgia has been substantially confirmed.
