Methods: An experimental case-control study was carried out where each group consisted of 50 patients over 20 years of age with a diagnosis of low back pain. The control group received treatment with traditional therapeutic schemes according to international consensus for the treatment of acute low back pain, in the case of patients in the case group the use of medical ozone was added, in three weekly sessions rectally until completing 10 sessions. The comparison test of means and McNemar were used to identify changes in pain intensity and in the presence and type of disability.
Results: Average age above 50 years with a predominance of female patients. The intensity of pain at the start of treatment behaved as an average of both groups at 8.76 points, while 87% of the patients reported some type of disability with a predominance of moderate disability.
Conclusions: The application of combined medical ozone positively influenced the decrease in pain intensity and the presence and type of disability.
