Intradiscal oxygen-ozone chemonucleolysis versus microdiscectomy for lumbar disc herniation radiculopathy: a non-inferiority randomized control trial

This randomized controlled trial compared intradiscal oxygen-ozone chemonucleolysis (O2-O3) with microdiscectomy in treating lumbar disc herniation radiculopathy. The study showed that O2-O3 therapy was non-inferior to microdiscectomy in reducing pain and improving function, making it an effective, less invasive alternative to surgery. Both treatments resulted in significant patient improvement, with
