Ozone treatment tested to boost heart function in failure patients
NCT ID NCT07134972
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This completed trial tested whether ozone therapy can help people with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction. Sixty participants received ozone infusions twice a week for two months. Researchers measured coronary flow reserve, exercise capacity, and heart function before and after treatment. The goal was to see if ozone could improve blood flow and reduce heart failure episodes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ozone therapy (ozonized blood infusion)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a complementary therapy to improve blood flow and exercise ability in heart failure patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, completed trial with only 60 participants, so results may not apply widely. Ozone therapy is experimental and not a standard heart failure treatment.
