Systemic ozone therapy (IV ozonated solution, major autohaemotherapy)
Systemic Ozone Therapy
Industry clinical and economic procedure passport. Full biological mechanism (MoA), patient preparation protocol, first-choice equipment fleet, integration into the resort's master treatment rooms and market price benchmarks.
Clinical profile
Introducing ozone into the body via the blood — a drip of ozonated saline or major autohaemotherapy. Reviews describe analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects; clinical data come from small low-quality studies, and results in COVID-19 are conflicting. Few studies specifically on ozonated saline drips are in PubMed.
Every statement links to a publication in the list below. This is a snapshot of published research, not a final assessment of the method: international practice and integrated protocols often run ahead of official publications. Draft based on published research; requires review by a physician. Revision: 2026-10-17.
Mechanism of action
- Ozone-oxygen therapy is credited with analgesic, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and immunomodulatory effects. [1]

Median of prices in industry facilities' price lists, 2026
Prices for this procedure appear in the price lists of 8 industry facilities; the median and interquartile range across facilities are shown (each facility counts once).
Evidence base
There are meta-analyses of small low-quality studies with conflicting conclusions; data specifically on intravenous drips are scarce.

Publications were found in PubMed; titles and journals are given verbatim, conclusions are a brief summary of the abstracts under the conditions of the specific studies. The level shows the volume of published data, not the value of the method: A — Plenty of data: consistent systematic reviews and meta-analyses of RCTs; B — Some data: reviews or several RCTs, results are heterogeneous; C — Little data: single RCTs or controlled studies; D — Scarce data: mainly reviews, observational and experimental studies. The passport is updated as new work is published and with regard to international practice.
