Low back pain is a disease frequently observed in the adult population, and consequently directly affects the quality of life of the population. In order to provide an effective treatment, several therapies such as ozoniotherapy have been developed. The objective was to evaluate, from a systematic review, the effects of ozoniotherapy compared to other therapies for low back pain. In the systematic search for the basis of this study, the question of the acronym PICO was formulated: in patients with low back pain, can ozonotherapy, in comparison with other therapies, contribute positively to the treatment of pain? The following online search platforms were selected: Sciencedirect (Elsevier), PUBMED, and Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO). Such bases were chosen due to their high impact in the area of medicine. Articles that presented relevance in relation to the theme and objective proposed in this study, publications of the last ten years, being available for download in Portuguese or English and randomized clinical trials were used. Ozone therapy has proved to be a good option for such treatment when compared to other methods. The patients treated with ozonotherapy presented significant recovery. Therefore, it is important to promote access to this integrative and complementary therapy within the Unified Health System.
