Treatment of lubar intervertebral disc protrusion with CT guided ozone Injection and radiofrequency Thermocoagulation / 中国基层医药

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the clinical effect of lubar intervertebral disc protrusion treatment with ozone injection combined radiofrequency thermocoagulation. Methods 36 patients with lubar intervertebral disc protrusion confirmed by clinical and imaging examination were underwent radiofrequency thermocoagulation followed ozone injection guided with CT. Results All the patients were followed up for 3 ～6 months,and statistic the improvement rate was evaluated according to Macnab standard. The total effective rate was 94.4%, and the improvement rate was 86.1%. Conclusion CT guided treatment could greatly elevate the accuracy of puncture. Radiofrequency target point thermocoagulation combined with ozone injection was a minimally invasive、safet and markedly effective method for lubar intervertebral disc protrusion treatment.
