Background: There is growing interest in the therapeutic application of ozone (OZ) and hyaluronic acid (HA) for individuals suffering from osteoarthritis. This randomized trial aimed to assess the effectiveness of HA versus a mixture of OZ and HA in alleviating pain for patients diagnosed with OA.
Methods: In a double-blind clinical trial, 60 patients diagnosed with OA were randomly divided into two groups: One group was administered four intra-articular (IA) injections of hyaluronic acid (HA) every week (HA group), while the second group received the same frequency of injections but with ozone combined with HA (OZ+HA group).
