Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical effectiveness of lumbar disc herniation with CT guided ozone injection and radiofrequency thermocoagulation. Methods 65 patients with lumbar disc herniation confirmed by clinical and imaging examination were underwent ozone injection and radiofrequency thermocoagulation guided with CT. Results All patients were followed up for 3 to 6 months, and the improvement rate was evaluated according to Macnab standard. The total effective rate was 93.8%, and the improvement rate was 84.6%. Conclusion CT guided treatment could greatly elevate the accuracy of puncture. Ozone injection combined with radiofrequency thermocoagulation was a minimally invasive, safe and markedly effective method for lumbar disc herniation treatment.
