Introduction:

the search for therapeutic alternatives for patient care with pathology of the spine is a social requirement, for which the use of ozone therapy is promoted.

Objective:

to characterize the clinical response of patients with spinal pathologies treated with paravertebral ozone therapy at the Dr. Agostinho Neto Guantanamo General Teaching Hospital during the period between September 2017 and August 2018.

Method:

a observational, prospective and cross-sectional study in the Neurosurgery service in 78 patients with diseases of the spine, intentionally selected and consciously involved in a preexperiment that consisted in the application of a cycle of ten sessions of ozone therapy by paravertebral route, during a period two weeks The following variables were controlled: lumbar pain intensity measured by the analogical evaluation scale; functional disability assessed by the Oswestry scale.

Results:

the majority of patients went to a lower pain category and 80.7% were evaluated in the mild-moderate category after ozone therapy. This made it possible for the highest percentage to decrease the degree of functional disability and the proportion with a minimum degree of disability function increased by 46.0%.

Conclusions:

paravertebral ozone therapy is an alternative that can help in the conservative treatment of patients with vertebral pathology.
