Introduction: ozone therapy is characterized by the simplicity of its application, high effectiveness, good tolerance and practically absence of side effects.
Objective: to characterize the use of rectal ozone therapy in patients with osteoarthritis treated at the ozone service of the Isabel Rubio Díaz polyclinic in the municipality of Los Palacios during 2019.
Method: descriptive and transversal research. The sample studied 84 patients attended in ozone therapy service in the analyzed period, according to inclusion criteria. ABSTRACT measures were used for qualitative data and chi-square.
Results: the predominant age group was 60 years and older (63,1 %) and female sex (77,4 %); the most affected joints were upper interphalangeal joints (100 %), followed by knees, decreasing the degree of disability at the end of treatment, which was significant; the response to treatment was satisfactory in 81 % of cases and only 4 % presented adverse reactions.
Conclusions: Rectal ozone therapy has demonstrated its efficacy and few adverse reactions in patients with osteoarthritis, so its use is recommended as another therapeutic option.
