Video Summary

Dr. Jessica Beetham presents a study on the potential benefits of basal vertebral nerve radiofrequency ablation for treating chronic low back pain linked to vertebrogenic factors. This treatment, involving the Intracept device, is suited for patients with Modic changes in the L3-S1 region who have not responded to six months of conservative care. The study involved 49 eligible patients, with benefits measured using the visual analog scale. Results showed 15 patients reported significant improvements. Further research with larger samples and more comprehensive pain assessment tools is recommended to validate findings.
