Lumbar spinal stenosis cause a compressive effect on the spinal cord or nerve roots. Stenosis can occur in the central spinal canal, lateral recesses, or intervertebral foramina [Canal stenosis can be distinguished from other spinal disorders by its chronic, primarily bilateral, insidious onset [In many cases, spinal canal stenosis can be treated non-surgically. Spinal stenosis treatment includes rest, weight loss, physiotherapy, epidural injections, and decompression surgery if the patient is not satisfied with non-surgical treatments [Decompression surgery has many complications such as recurrence, bone degeneration, failed back surgery syndrome (FBSS) and postoperative mortality. In addition, expenses for diagnostic and treatment measures, disability, long-term leave and absence from work are among the losses that the government and individuals must pay for this disease. Therefore, choosing a minimally invasive treatment with high efficacy is necessary for these patients. In line with this goal and the absence of sufficient studies in this field, this study was designed and conducted to evaluate the efficacy of ozone therapy in patients with lumbar spinal stenosis.
