Abstract
Rigid person syndrome affects the central nervous system, the clinical signs that distinguish it is: rigidity, muscle spasms, sensitivity that increase when faced with external stimuli, generating muscle contractions and pain with exhaustion. This condition has a prevalence of 1 to 2 per million and its incidence is 1 per million per year, which makes it a rare, unknown pathology with a progressive tendency to deterioration and disability. The etiology is associated with antibody measurement and may be the expression of a paraneoplastic syndrome. Pharmacological treatment is based on muscle relaxant drugs and drugs with an immunemodulator and immunosuppressant mechanism or suppressive mechanism and a complementary rehabilitation plan. Ozone therapy exerts actions such as anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, antioxidant, increases brain flow and acts on the mitochondria allowing energy production through mitochondrial action; resulting a coadjuvant therapy of choice for the management of this pathology.
The objective is to describe a clinical case, which is considered relevant for its low frequency of presentation, as well as to publicize the result of management with adjuvant therapy (ozone therapy) compared to the result of 2 isolated and published cases, managed with treatment conventional
