| description | Introduction: Suffering from osteoarthritis is prevalent among
elderly patients so the use of intra-articular injection of medical
ozone may well be the effective way to relieve their pain.
Aim: To evaluate the effect of intra-articular injection of medical
ozone given into the knee of the osteoarthritis patients, and to
compare it with taking celecoxib and glucosamine orally.
Materials and Methods: In the present study, 76 patients
suffering from osteoarthritis were randomly assigned into two
groups. In the ozone group, 20 ml ozone-oxygen mixture gas
concentration of 20 μg/ml was injected into knee articular
cavity and each patient took oral celecoxib and glucosamine
hydrochloride. Patients in control group only took the celecoxib
and glucosamine hydrochloride orally.
Pain score and Lysholm knee score were measured prior to the
injection (pretreatment) and at one, three, six weeks after the
beginning of the treatment (posttreatment).
Results: After the treatment, the pain intensity and function
significantly improved in the two groups compared with the
pretreatment (p<0.05). In the ozone group, three weeks after
intervention, the pain score improved significantly when
compared with the control group (p<0.05).
After the treatment, the lysholm scores increased significantly
(p<0.05), but in the ozone group, it improved faster.
Conclusion: Intra-articular injection of ozone plus oral celecoxib
and glucosamine could significantly decrease pain intensity in
patients with mild to moderate Knee Osteoarthritis (KOA), and
improve their functional status early than oral celecoxib and
glucosamine only. |
