RESUMEN
SUMMARY: To compare the effective rates among one week, two week and four week treatment sessions of ozone therapy for lumbar disc herniation to provide a foundation for clinical decision-making. One hundred and eighty-seven lumbar disc herniation patients were divided into three groups, 103 cases for one week, 61 cases for two week and 23 cases for four week treatment sessions. The clinical curative effective rates in the three groups were 82.52%, 85.24% and 95.65% respectively. The effective rate among the three groups showed no significant difference at statistical analysis. Considering the cost-effectiveness of ozone therapy, increasing the treatment course does not enhance the curative effect.
