Oxygen-ozone (O²-O³) therapy is emerging in the treatment of many diseases. This kind of treatment is characterized by a few side effects. When oxygen-ozone mixture is administered through subcutaneous or intramuscular infiltration, often patients refer pain or burning sensation in the site of injection. The aim of our study is to evaluate intensity and duration of this side effect during treatments.
