Lower Back Pain Chronic Clinical Trial
Official title:
Evaluation of Pain Level Reduction After Low-dose Radiation in Symptomatic Facet Joint Arthritis - A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial.
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) with intra-articular steroid injections in participants suffering from chronic lower back pain as cause of facet joint arthritis (FJA). The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is LDRT non-inferior to intra-articular steroid injections in terms of pain reduction - Is there a difference in long-term pain reduction between LDRT and intra-articular steroid injections Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment groups.
However, there has been no published study providing scientific evidence by prospective randomized data on the effect of LDRT in patient suffering from facet osteoarthritis. LDRT seems a viable treatment method with anti-inflammatory potential and possible long-lasting benefit in pain resolution for patients with facet joint arthritis (FJA), which can prevent from an ultimate surgical treatment. The rationale of this trial is to generate scientific evidence that LDRT is an alternative non-invasive treatment option for FJA, whose primary outcome "pain reduction" is equivalent to the most common treatment intra-articular steroid injections. ;
