The most striking signs and symptoms foun were myalgia in 34 cases, cramps in 25 cases, headache in 22 patients, dwindles in 20 patients and loss of balance in 2 cases. Rectum was the most used way of administration and a satisfactory remission was observed in 34 patients, which proved the effectiveness of ozone therapy in patients with peripheral neuropathy.
