INTRODUCTION: Ozonetherapy is a therapeutic tool used in the treatment of low back pain associated to herniation of lumbar disks. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this systematic review was to ratify the relevance of this treatment in clinical practice, besides emphasizing its possible utilization on physiotherapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: PRISMA and PICOS were used to analyze the manuscripts design. Manuscripts selection was made by a research in the PUBMED, Periódicos CAPES and Scielo databases. Four clinical trials were selected according to the inclusion criterias designer for the study. RESULTS: All the authors confirmed the efficiency of ozonetherapy as a therapeutic method in reversing the algic symptomatology of pacients whit lumbar disc herniation. Ozonetherapy associated to the physiotherapeutic treatment can contribute pain relief related to low back pain by influencing the improvement in patients quality of life. CONCLUSION: Ozonetherapy is an effective therapeutic option for patients whit low back pain associated whit lumbar disk herniation.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to compare between the conventional discectomy and the interbody fusion with bilateral pedicular screw fixation in the management of single level lumbar disk herniation. METHODS: This is a prospective study done on 50 patients (25 in each group) at Cairo University Hospitals in the period between October 2018 and June 2019 fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Diagnosis was made clinically with history (low back pain and sciatica),examination (motor power assessment, straight leg raising test), and radiological findings (MRI, CT and X-ray lumbar spine). The pain status (VAS) was pre and postoperatively evaluated and followed up every 3 months for 1 year. RESULTS: The study included 50 patients (25 in each group) (mean age 40.4 years old) with slight female predominance. The most common clinical findings presented at diagnosis were low back pain followed by lower limb pain in the form of claudication and sciatica. L5-S1 disk prolapse was the most common level affected in both groups followed by L4-5 level. Regarding the clinical outcome, there was statistical significance in the VAS of low back pain at 9 months and 1-year follow-up favoring the fusion group with mean VAS 0.40 and 1.32 (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: Clinical outcome was excellent in both groups. However, the reduction in low back pain after surgery was greater in the fusion group (p < 0.05). The rate of recurrent disk herniation at the surgical level in the nonfusion group was higher, but intraoperative blood loss, operation time, length of hospital stay, and total cost of procedure were all less in the patients undergoing discectomy alone. Although there is still controversy regarding the pros and cons of fusion in association with disk excision without instability, fusion results were highly favorable.

Abstract BACKGROUND: Transmuscular tubular diskectomy has been introduced to increase the rate of recovery, although evidence is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the 2-year results of tubular diskectomy compared with conventional microdiskectomy. METHODS: Three hundred twenty-eight patients with persistent leg pain caused by lumbar disk herniation were randomly assigned to undergo tubular diskectomy (167 patients) or conventional microdiskectomy (161 patients). Main outcome measures were scores from Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire for Sciatica, Visual Analog Scale for leg pain and low-back pain, and Likert self-rating scale of global perceived recovery. RESULTS: On the basis of intention-to-treat analysis, there was no significant difference between tubular diskectomy and conventional microdiskectomy in Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire for Sciatica scores during 2 years after surgery (between-group mean difference [Δ] = 0.6; 95% confidence interval [CI], −0.3-1.6). Patients treated with tubular diskectomy reported more leg pain (Δ = 3.3 mm; 95% CI, 0.2-6.2) and more low-back pain (Δ = 3.0 mm; 95% CI, −0.2-6.3) than those patients treated with conventional microdiskectomy. At 2 years, 71% of patients assigned to tubular diskectomy documented a good recovery vs 77% of patients assigned to conventional microdiskectomy (odds ratio, 0.76; 95% CI, 0.45-1.28; P = .35). Repeated surgery rates within 2 years after tubular diskectomy and conventional microdiskectomy were 15% and 10%, respectively (P = .22). CONCLUSION: Tubular diskectomy and conventional microdiskectomy resulted in similar functional and clinical outcomes. Patients treated with tubular diskectomy reported more leg pain and low-back pain, although the differences were small and not clinically relevant.
