Summary

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of rectal ozone therapy added to medical treatment on pain severity, disease activity, spinal mobility, functional status, enthesitis, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).

Patients and methods: Patients who fulfilled the modified New York criteria for AS were included in this randomized controlled study. Thirty patients selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria were randomized into two groups. Rectal ozone treatment along with medical treatment was administered to the patients in group 1, in increasing doses for 5 sessions per week, 20 sessions in total for 4 weeks. The patients in group 2 continued only their current medical treatment. All patients received a comprehensive rheumatologic assessment including pain severity, disease-specific instruments for disease activity, functional status, spinal mobility, enthesitis score, and QoL.
