Introduction: Ozone therapy is a frequently applied physiotherapy method. There are reports that ozone has a wide spectrum of possible effects. Aim: The aim of the study was to examine a possible influence of the water baths with ozone on lower limbs muscles perfusion in patients with gonarthrosis. Materials and methods: 30 patients (mean age 62,3±11,0 years) with gonarthrosis (II-III degree according to Seyfried’s scale) were included in the study. The patients were assigned to three groups: • Group A (10pts) – water massages with ozone + exercises (kinesitherapy) were applied in this group • Group B (9pts) – water massages without ozone + exercises (kinesitherapy) were applied • Group C (11pts) – kinesitherapy alone was applied. All the patients realized the same kinesitherapy program. Radioisotopic examinations of the lower limbs muscles perfusion in rest were performed before and after the treatment. Results: the study revealed a significant lower limbs muscles perfusion increase in the group A (water massages with ozone were applied in this group). A slight perfusion increase was also observed in other groups (B and C) but the differences were not statistically significant. No patient had any adverse reaction after the applied treatment. Conclusions: The study revealed a significant lower limbs muscles perfusion increase after hydrotherapy with ozone procedures. The results confirm that ozone has a positive influence on microcirculation. Ozonetherapy can be recognized as a safe method as no adverse reactions during and after the treatment were observed in the study. |
