Interventions

Medical Device, Procedure/Surgery : • Treatment group: Inject 10-20 mL of levobupivacaine solution (0.25&#37
) into the epidural bolus around the disc lesion.Then, 10 mL of ozone (oxygen / ozone mixed gas
concentration 20 µg / mL) is administered to the disc lesion through the injection needle. Of these, 1 to 3 mL of ozone is injected into the disc lesion, and the remaining 7 to 9 mL is injected into t
is injected into the epidural bolus around the disc lesion.Then, a needle without ozone is inserted into the disc lesion (simulated therapy).
