Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this research was to study whether the additional application of a certain medical intervention making use of radiofrequencies (pulsed-radiofrequency) would reduce pain in patients with herniated disk.


Description:

Pain is an uncomfortable sensory and emotional experience that can affect quality of life. Low back pain (LBP) is one of the most common causes of pain, with herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP) being a common etiology. Pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a relatively novel technique that has shown promising results in many applications, including spinal pain conditions. This quasi-experimental study aimed to compare pain levels between patients who underwent conventional therapy (CT) alone and CT plus PRF as management in patients with HNP. Pain severity was measured in the numeric rating scale before and 1 month after treatment.
