Effective Management of Chronic Low Back Pain in the Elderly: A One-Year Cohort Study of Oxygen–Ozone Therapy Under CT Guidance Combined with Alpha Lipoic Acid, Palmitoylethanolamide, and Myrrh
2025
Overview
Background and Objective: This observational study aimed to evaluate the clinical efficacy of combined oxygen–ozone (O2-O3) therapy under CT guidance with the oral administration of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), palmitoylethanolamine (PEA), and myrrh in elderly patients suffering from chronic low back pain (LBP). Given the rising prevalence of degenerative spinal diseases in older adults, this study addresses the need for effective, minimally invasive treatment options. Methods: A total of 276 patients aged 65 to 92 years, with chronic unilateral or bilateral LBP, underwent CT-guided paravertebral infiltrations with an O2-O3 gas mixture. This treatment was complemented with a 30-day regimen of ALA (800 mg/day), PEA (600 mg/day), and myrrh (200 mg/day). Clinical outcomes were assessed at one month and one year post-treatment using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and the modified McNab method. Results: At one month, 32.94% of patients reported an excellent improvement, with the mean VAS score dropping from 8.17 to 2.81. At the one-year follow-up, 68.15% cumulatively experienced positive outcomes, with 17.78% reporting the complete resolution of pain. In this occasion, the mean VAS score was 3.57. Conclusions: The study demonstrates that the combination of oxygen–ozone therapy and oral ALA, PEA, and myrrh is a promising alternative for managing chronic low back pain in the elderly, leading to significant pain reduction and improved quality of life. Findings emphasize the need for further research to validate these results and explore the long-term benefits.
