Results 323 patients with 433 discs were treated by oxygen-ozone injection procedure.Total effective rate was 77.7%. Conclusions The treatment of lumber disc herniation by oxygen-ozone injection is simple,safe and effective with mild trauma.Oxygen-ozone not only can oxidize the proteoglycan in the nucleus leading to the contraction of nucleus,but also provide anti-inflammation effect with pain relief and without complication yet.
