Ozone is rapidly gaining popularity in various medical fields especially in pain management. Newer modification in techniques and administration of ozone, more and more publication of research papers in the medical journals and animal studies have made it more acceptable to the medical community, Ozone may be a wonder molecule to the clinicians though its potentials have not yet fully explored. It has role in controlling bacterial, fungal & viral infections including AIDS, treating non-healing ulcers, Rheumatoid and other kinds of arthritis, different kind of skin diseases and many others. But role and scope of ozone in pain management is very rapidly expanding.
Ozone is a tri-atomic Oxygen molecule, O3, with an active and extra Oxygen atom. Its name came from the Greek word ozein meaning “to smell”. At room temperature, Ozone is a colorless gas with a characteristic odor (similar smell after thunderstorms, at high altitudes or near the sea etc). At ground level its concentration 0.03 – 0.04 ppm. Ozone in the atmosphere is produced by action of UV rays and thunderstorm on the atmospheric Oxygen.
