Lower back pain and facet joint treatment success
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at how the shape of small bones in your spine relates to how well a treatment called radiofrequency denervation works for lower back pain coming from the facet joints. It aims to find out if certain bone shapes make the treatment more successful.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have had lower back pain for more than 6 months that comes from the facet joints.

This study tests whether a procedure that uses focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) and/or a radiofrequency nerve treatment can reduce long-lasting low back pain caused by facet-joint arthritis. It may help people whose pain improves strongly after a targeted numbing injection to specific back nerves.
This trial compares two types of radiofrequency treatment (cooled vs. thermal) to see which works better for chronic pain coming from the small joints in your lower back. It is for people who have had back pain for at least 3 months and haven't gotten enough relief from usual treatments like pain medicine or physical therapy.
This study compares a nerve procedure (radiofrequency “neurotomy” using an expandable electrode) to non-procedure medical care for long-lasting low back pain from facet joints. It aims to see whether the procedure helps more safely than conservative treatment.
This study focuses on people with long-lasting low back pain that likely comes from the small “facet” joints in the lower spine. It aims to better understand brain, psychological, and biology changes to help optimize treatment for this type of back pain.
This study tests if radiofrequency ablation, a procedure that uses heat to block pain signals from the facet joints in your spine, can help people with long-term low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments like physical therapy.
This study compares two ways of performing a procedure called radiofrequency ablation to treat chronic low back pain. The goal is to find which method works better to reduce pain by numbing the small nerves in your back.
