PNS vs RFA for Facet Joint Pain

Status Not yet recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

Radiofrequency ablation of the medial nerve is the current surgical treatment for back pain originating from the facet joints in the spine. However, this procedure causes denervation of spinal muscles. Peripheral nerve stimulation is another treatment for facet joint pain that may not cause damage to the spinal muscles. This study will compare both treatments in terms pain relief and spine biomechanics.
