Sex life and low back pain: The impact of intradiscal ozone therapy in patients with herniated lumbar disc.
Study DesignRetrospective cohort study.ObjectivesTo assess the improvement of sexual impairment after percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy in patients complaining of low back pain (LBP) due to lumbar disc herniation.MethodsBetween January 2018 and June 2021, 157 consecutive imaging-guided percutaneous intradiscal ozone therapies were performed on 122 patients with LBP and/or sciatic pain due to lumbar disc herniation. Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was administered before the treatment and at 1-month and 3-month follow-ups and the ODI Section 8 (ODI-8/sex life) values were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the improvement of sexual impairment and disability.ResultsMean age of patients was 54.63 ± 12.40.

The mean ODI-8/sex life was 3.73 ± 1.29 before the procedure, 1.71 ± 1.37 at 1-month follow up and 0.44 ± 0.63 at 3-month follow-up. Compared to older patients, subjects under 50 years showed a significantly slower recovery of sexual impairment (p = 0.003). The treated levels were L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 in 4, 116, and 37 patients, respectively. Patients with L3-L4 disc herniation showed less sexual disability at presentation, with a significantly faster improvement of sexual life (p = 0.03).ConclusionsPercutaneous intradiscal ozone therapy is highly effective in reducing sexual impairment due to lumbar disc herniation, and the improvement is faster in older patients and in the case of L3-L4 disc involvement.
期刊介绍：
Interventional Neuroradiology (INR) is a peer-reviewed clinical practice journal documenting the current state of interventional neuroradiology worldwide. INR publishes original clinical observations, descriptions of new techniques or procedures, case reports, and articles on the ethical and social aspects of related health care. Original research published in INR is related to the practice of interventional neuroradiology...
