Application of ozone therapy in interventional medicine

Abstract

Ozone therapy has been gradually accepted by doctors in various fields because it has been safe, convenient, and inexpensive since the twentieth century. It has been used in the treatment of various diseases with satisfactory results, especially in the application of interventional surgery. For lumbar disc herniation, knee osteoarthritis, tissue ischemia-reperfusion after revascularization, stroke, and cancer, ozone therapy can improve the efficacy of interventional surgery and reduce postoperative acute and chronic complications. Prospects of ozone therapy in interventional therapy and the underlying mechanisms of efficacy need further exploration.
