Abstract
We evaluated the safety and therapeutic effect of treating cervical disc herniation with O2-O3 mixture injection into the intradiscal space. 58 patients with 126 herniated discs verified by MRI were selected for the study, and all patients presented the symptoms of upper limb, cervical and shoulder pain. The procedures were guided by fluoroscopy (28 cases) and by CT (30 cases). The puncture route was defined between the right common carotid artery and trachea clearance. 1∼2 ml O2-O3 mixture at 30–40 ug/mL was injected into each herniated disc space. 58 patients were followed up from three to 30 months after treatment. The therapeutic effect showed that 33 cases (56.9%) had excellent recovery, 11 cases (19.0%) had significant relief of symptoms, and 14 cases (24.1%) resulted in treatment failure. No serious complication occurred. The therapeutic method developed by using O2-O3 mixture injection in cervical intradiscal space was a safe and effective method for the treatment of cervical disc herniation.
