Abstract：
Ozone therapy has been used to control pain in animals. Moreover, electroacupuncture (EA) has been effective in neurological recovery and pain control in dogs with thoracolumbar discopathy. EA was compared with Ozone applied at acupuncture points in dogs with signs of thoracolumbar disk disease. Chondrodystrophic mongrel dogs, with lesion scores between 1 and 4, were randomly divided into groups: EA (n = 13) - electroacupuncture at BL20, BL23, ST36, KID3 and BL60 and dry needle in lumbar Bai Hui, and OZO (n = 15) - paravertebral application of 3 mL ozone (20 μg / mL) at BL20, BL23, lumbar Bai Hui, ST36, and KID3/BL60, both groups with weekly applications. No significant differences were observed between groups in weekly blind pain assessments using a dynamic interactive visual analog scale, and neurological assessments using a numerical-functional scale. Both groups showed a progressive improvement in pain control and neurological condition, which was observed when comparing the group\'s EA and OZO in dogs with all lesion scores. The time of return to locomotion (days) of dogs scored 3 and 4, between groups EA (10.6 ± 5.4) and OZO (14.5 ± 15.7), had no significant differences. Ozone therapy was effective to control pain and motor rehabilitation and sensory functions of dogs with thoracolumbar discopathy signs, just as electroacupuncture. Ozone application was a quick and easy-to-handle treatment. Paravertebral and subcutaneous routes did not require anesthesia or other advanced imaging technology, besides being safe and effective.
摘要：
臭氧疗法已用于控制动物的疼痛。此外，电针（EA）在胸腰椎交感神经病犬的神经恢复和疼痛控制方面是有效的。将EA与在具有胸腰椎椎间盘疾病迹象的狗的穴位上使用臭氧进行比较。软骨营养不良杂种狗，病变评分在1至4分之间，随机分为两组：EA（n=13）-电针BL20，BL23，ST36，KID3和BL60，干针腰椎白慧，和OZO（n=15）-在BL20，BL23，腰椎BaiHui的椎旁应用3mL臭氧（20μg/mL），ST36和KID3/BL60，两组均每周应用。使用动态交互式视觉模拟量表在每周盲痛评估中没有观察到两组之间的显着差异。和神经学评估使用数字功能量表。两组均显示疼痛控制和神经系统状况的进行性改善，这是在比较狗的EA和OZO和所有病变评分时观察到的。在EA（10.6±5.4）和OZO（14.5±15.7）组之间，狗的返回运动时间（天）得分为3和4分，没有显著差异。臭氧治疗可有效控制胸腰段交感神经征犬的疼痛，运动康复和感觉功能，就像电针一样。臭氧应用是一种快速且易于处理的处理方法。椎旁和皮下途径不需要麻醉或其他先进的成像技术，除了安全和有效。
