Authors' recommendations:
Few studies of low methodological quality suggest that ozone therapy in combination with steroids and/or anesthetics might have some additional benefit in improving low back pain in patients with disc disease. However, this technology is not mentioned in the clinical practice guidelines gathered and none of the health Sponsors surveyed considers its coverage.
