Abstract

Introduction: Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is a widely prevalent problem and leads to decrease in physical function through pain and reduced range of motion. Since there is no cure for the disease, the main aim of treatment if to reduce pain and preserve function. While early osteoarthritis is treated with exercise and lifestyle modifications only, measures like intra-articular ozone administration and platelet rich plasma therapy reduce pain, restore function and enable patients to exercise more effectively. We studied the effectiveness of ozone administration in patients with knee osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients with KellgrenLawrence grade 2-3 osteoarthritis of both knees were recruited and administered intra-articular ozone. Pain and patient global assessment scores were recorded on the visual analogue scale at baseline and at 6 months. Results: All patients experienced improvement with an improvement of mean pain VAS from 6.9 at baseline to 2.9 at 6 months. Patient global assessment also improved from 5.1 to 1.3. Conclusion: Intra-articular ozone administration is effective in reducing pain in patients with osteoarthritis of the knees.
