Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial
Radiofrequency lesioning using two different time modalities for the treatment of lumbar discogenic pain: a randomized trial.
A prospective randomized trial. ⋯ Percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency thermocoagulation has been suggested and performed to relieve discogenic pain. In the previous controlled study, no effective pain relief has been obtained. In this study, the authors increased the duration of radiofrequency thermocoagulation to improve the effectiveness of this method. Yet, the authors have not found any significant differences between the application of lesioning at two different times in percutaneous intradiscal radiofrequency thermocoagulation.
