Clinical Trial Summary

Chronic neck pain is a common disorder for spine specialists. Radiofrequency ablation of medial branches has been proven effective in selected patients for relieving pain. A newer radiofrequency ablation cannula has been developed (multi-tined), allowing perpendicular access. It is proposed as an alternative to the more technically challenging traditional approach. This study aims to compared the technical and clinical aspects of both techniques.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Numerical Pain Rating scale for patient's pain during the procedure pain during radiofrequency procedure will be compared between the 2 groups as a principal hypothesis is that the new multi-tined cannula is better tolerated by patients Scale is from 0-10, 0/10 is no pain which is better than pain of 10/10 1 day of the intervention
Secondary Fluoroscopy time Calculated time of fluoroscopy in seconds 1 day of the intervention
Secondary Radiation dosage Calculated dose of radiation measure by the C-arm 1 day of the intervention
Secondary time of procedure Total time of procedure in minutes/seconds 1 day of the intervention
Secondary Patient pain (Numerical Rating Scale - NRS score) therapeutic effect on pain Scale is from 0-10, 0/10 is no pain which is better than pain of 10/10 0, 3, 6 12 months
Secondary Patient function (Neck disability Index - NDI) therapeutic effect on function scale is from 0-100%, where 0% is better than 100% in terms of the effect of pain on function 0, 3, 6, 12 months
