Abstract

The Authors report their experience in the treatment of three cases of paraspinal myositis using oxygen-ozone therapy through paravertebral muscle infiltrations. In two cases, myositis developed in patients suffering from Long Covid, while the third case involved a recently vaccinated non-Covid patient (third dose). Patients included in the study were treated with intramuscular paravertebral infiltrations of an oxygen-ozone mixture, following informed consent, over ten therapeutic sessions: two per week. The results obtained were clinically assessed and subsequently confirmed by Magnetic Resonance Imaging seven days after the completion of treatment, demonstrating improvement in the imaging findings and substantial clinical recovery in the treated patients.
