Facet Joint Syndrome Clinical Trial
Official title:
Effect of the Multifidus Muscle Twitch on the Long Term Effect of Radiofrequency Lumbar Medial Branch Neurotomy

Is FDA regulated | No |
Health authority | Korea: Ministry of Food and Drug Safety |
Study type | Observational |
The investigators collected data and chart from the patients who were diagnosed facet joint
syndrome and underwent lumbar RF medial branch neurotomy between January 2009 and June 2014.
RF was performed using sensory stimulation and multifidus twitching to confirm the position
of RF needle. The patients wil be grouped according to the adequacy of RF needle position
while performing RF medial branch neurotomy ('complete' when all needles were placed
adequately, 'partial' when one of the needles for a facet joint medial branch was placed
inadequately, 'none' when there were both needles positioned inadequately for a facet joint)
The relationship between the long term effect of RF neurotomy (longer than 6 months) and the
groups will be analyzed.
