Official Title

Efficacy of Ozone Therapy in Patients With Ankylosing Spondylitis: A Randomized Controlled Study

Brief Summary

      The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rectal ozone therapy added to medical
      treatment on pain severity, disease activity, spinal mobility, functional status, enthesitis,
      and quality of life (QoL) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

      Patients and methods: Patients who fulfilled the modified New York criteria for AS were
      included in this randomized controlled study. Thirty patients selected according to inclusion
      and exclusion criteria were randomized into two groups. Rectal ozone treatment along with
      medical treatment was administered to the patients in group 1, in increasing doses for 5
      sessions per week, 20 sessions in total for 4 weeks. The patients in group 2 continued only
      their current medical treatment. All patients received a comprehensive rheumatologic
      assessment including pain severity, disease-specific instruments for disease activity,
      functional status, spinal mobility, enthesitis score, and QoL.
