Integrated Ozone Therapy and Physical Rehabilitation for Musculoskeletal Disorders: A Comprehensive Approach

Dear Colleagues,

Musculoskeletal disorders remain a leading cause of pain and disability worldwide. While traditional treatments provide symptomatic relief, emerging integrative approaches combining medical ozone therapy with structured physical rehabilitation show promising potential to enhance recovery. Ozone therapy, with its demonstrated anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and oxygenation effects, may amplify the benefits of rehabilitative exercise, offering a synergistic strategy for conditions such as osteoarthritis, spinal disorders, and chronic tendinopathies.

This Special Issue aims to gather original research and comprehensive reviews on this integrative paradigm. It aligns with the journal’s focus on rehabilitation and regenerative medicine, striving to compile at least 10 articles suitable for potential print publication. We seek work that advances the scientific and clinical understanding of combined treatment protocols.

We welcome submissions including original studies, reviews, and meta-analyses. Topics may include the following:

• Clinical trials on ozone therapy combined with rehabilitation;
• Rehabilitation protocols following ozone interventions;
• Safety, efficacy, and dosage optimization;
• Technological advances in treatment delivery.

We look forward to hearing from you.
