RESUMO

STUDY DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. OBJECTIVES: To assess the improvement of sexual impairment after percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients complaining of low back pain (LBP) due to lumbar disc herniation. METHODS: Between January 2018 and June 2021, 157 consecutive imaging-guided percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapies were performed on 122 patients with LBP and/or sciatic pain due to lumbar disc herniation. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was administered before the treatment and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups and the ODI Section 8 (ODI-8/sex life) values were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the improvement of sexual impairment and disability. RESULTS: Mean age of patients was 54.63 ± 12.40. Technical success was achieved in all cases (157/157). Clinical success was registered in 61.97% (88/142) of patients at 1-month follow-up and in 82.69% (116/142) at 3-month follow-up. The mean ODI-8/sex life was 3.73 ± 1.29 before the procedure, 1.71 ± 1.37 at 1-month follow up and 0.44 ± 0.63 at 3-month follow-up. Compared to older patients, subjects under 50 years showed a significantly slower recovery of sexual impairment (p = 0.003). The treated levels were L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 in 4, 116, and 37 patients, respectively. Patients with L3-L4 disc herniation showed less sexual disability at presentation, with a significantly faster improvement of sexual life (p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS: Percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy is highly effective in reducing sexual impairment due to lumbar disc herniation, and the improvement is faster in older patients and in the case of L3-L4 disc involvement.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To assess and compare the clinical effectiveness of percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients affected by lumbar disc herniation, with and without history of COVID-19 infection. MATERIALS AND METHODS: After the rising of COVID-19 pandemics in Italy, 47 consecutive percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapies were performed on patients with low back pain and/or sciatic pain due to lumbar disc herniation. Among these, 19 had suffered from COVID-19 and successively recovered with no residual symptoms, while the remaining 28 had not previously been affected by COVID-19 and were not convalescent. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was administered before the treatment and at 1-month and 3-month follow-up in order to assess the clinical outcome. RESULTS: The two groups were similar in terms of patient age (p-value 0.54), treated levels (p-value 0.26) and pre-procedure ODI (p-value 0.33). Technical success was achieved in all cases. In patients previously affected by COVID-19, mean ODI decrease was 11.58 ± 9.51 (35.72%) at 1-month follow-up and 20.63 ± 9.87 (63.63%) at 3-month follow-up. In patients never affected by COVID-19, mean ODI decrease was 20.93 ± 10.53 (58.73%) at 1-month follow-up and 22.07 ± 11.36 (61.92%) at 3-month follow-up. Eventually, clinical success was registered in 84.21% (16/19) of patients with history of COVID-19 infection and in 85.71% (24/28) of patients with no history of COVID-19 infection. No major complication was registered. CONCLUSIONS: In case of lumbar disc herniation treated with percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy, patients previously affected by COVID-19 showed a significantly longer recovery time.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare technical success, clinical success, complications and radiation dose for percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients with lumbar disc herniation using fluoroscopic guidance versus conventional computed tomography (CT) guidance. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between March 2018and March 2021, 124consecutive percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapies wereperformedon111 patients with low back pain (LBP) and/or sciatic pain due to lumbar disc herniation, using fluoroscopic or conventional CT guidance, respectively in 53 and 58 herniated lumbar discs, with at least 1-month follow up. Dose area product (DAP) and dose length product (DLP) were recorded respectively for fluoroscopy and CT, and converted to effective dose (ED). RESULTS: Fluoroscopic and CT groups were similar in terms of patient age (p-value 0.39), patient weight (p-value 0.49) and pre-procedure Oswestry Disability Index (ODI, p-value 0.94). Technical success was achieved in all cases. Clinical success was obtained in 83.02% (44/53) patients in fluoroscopic group and 79.31% (46/58) in CT group. Mean DAP was 11.63Gy*cm2 (range 5.42-21.61). Mean DLP was 632.49mGy-cm (range 151.51-1699). ED was significantly lower in the fluoroscopic group compared toCT group (0.34 vs. 5.53mSv, p = 0.0119). No major complication was registered. Minor complications were observed in 4 cases (2 in fluoroscopic group; 2 in CT group). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to conventional CT guidance, fluoroscopic guidance for percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients with lumbar disc herniation shows similar technical and clinical success rates, with lower radiation dose. This technique helps sparing dose exposure to patients.

RESUMO

PURPOSE: To compare clinical success and operative time for percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients with lumbar disc herniation using fluoroscopic guidance versus computed tomography (CT). MATERIALS AND METHODS: During the year 2019, 68 percutaneous single-level intradiscal ozone therapies were performed on patients complaining of low back pain and/or sciatica due to lumbar disc herniation, using fluoroscopic or conventional CT guidance, respectively, in 35 and 32 herniated lumbar discs, with at least 1-month follow-up. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to assess clinical outcome. Total room utilization time and procedure operative time were recorded for both fluoroscopy and CT guidance. RESULTS: Fluoroscopy and CT groups were similar in terms of patient age (p value 0.45) and pre-procedure ODI (p value 0.64). Clinical success was obtained in 87.50% (28/32) patients in fluoroscopic group and 83.33% (30/36) in CT group. Mean total room utilization time was significantly longer for CT guidance (31.38 vs. 50.67 min, p < 0.0001), as well as the procedure operative time (15.94 vs. 27.61 min, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS: Compared to conventional CT guidance, fluoroscopic guidance for percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients with lumbar disc herniation shows similar clinical success rates at 1-month follow-up, with decreased room utilization time and procedure operative time that implies less time consumption for medical and paramedical operative team.
