Abstrakt: Purpose of Review: In this review, studies and mechanisms of action relative to intravesical ozone in Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis (IC/BPS) will be summarized and correlated with pathologies of chronic pelvic pain in animal models and clinical trials. Recent Findings: Some studies have investigated intravesical ozone therapy in view of the disadvantages of conventional interventions and the extensive popularization of ozone in healthcare. Summary: Despite the small number of specific studies, many recent, results postulate ozone as a promising alternative for the management of IC/BPS given its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effect.
