Outcomes of Cooled-Radiofrequency Ablation of Lumbar Nerves as Treatment for Chronic Low Back Pain.

10:09 AM - 10:17 AM CT
Location: Griffin Hall - Screen 03
Introduction:

23% of adults worldwide suffer from chronic lower back pain, defined as pain persisting for more than 3-6 months.1 Cooled-radiofrequency ablation, minimally invasive therapy, utilizes internally cooled radiofrequency probes delivering targeted thermal energy, causing neurolysis. This disrupts transmission of pain stimuli along nociceptive pathways, resulting in pain relief.2 This study investigates whether patients receiving cooled-radiofrequency ablation for chronic low back pain caused by lumbar facet arthropathy experience reduction in length and magnitude of pain scores.
