Clinical behavioral outcomes related to osteoporotic patients during ozone treatment.


Abstract


Bio-oxidative therapies accelerate oxygen metabolism, stimulate the antioxidant defense system, having analgesic, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, among others.

A quasi-experimental study was carried out with the objective of knowing the clinical behavior of osteoporosis during ozone treatment at the Provincial Center for retinitis pigmentosa, Camagüey (Cuba) from January - June 2006.

The universe: 53 patients, 50 cases that met the inclusion criteria: patients with osteoporosis, those who agreed to participate in the study with prior informed consent and who decided to join the study by suspending or eliminating previously used therapies.
Ozone was rectally applied, 20 sessions in 2 cycles per year.

It was registered the following variables: age groups and sex, evaluation of signs and symptoms, distribution according to occupation, clinical evolution according to cycles, variation of drug treatment and social and economic impact.

The predominant ages: 31-40 and +41 years with 16 (32%) and 21 (42%) respectively, the main symptom pain 50 (100%), occupation: workers: 42 (84%). After 20 sessions of ozone, the results were: improved 38 (76%), 50 (100%) decreased the dose of medications.

Patients were incorporated into society in less time, improving their bio-psycho-social state with a cost five times lower than the standard treatment.
