Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a retrospective, single-center study that is going to be conducted from November 2013 to May 2016 on patients visiting the pain clinic of the hospital who were treated with Ozone-oxygen therapy for cervical discogenic or radicular pain.

Data collected from medical record forms and electronic medical record system of the hospital were used in the retrospective analysis of medical data with regard to age, gender, complications.

A resident who has not involved in the study interviewed each patient by telephone on the follow up to collect the related information.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria
