Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Comparison of effectiveness of facet joint injection and radiofrequency denervation in chronic low back pain.
The study was conducted to compare the clinical effectiveness of FJ injections (FJI) and FJ radiofrequency (FJRF) denervation in patients with chronic low back pain. ⋯ To our knowledge, the first choice should be the FJI and if pain reoccurs after a period of time or injection is not effective, RF procedure should be used for the treatment of chronic lumbar pain.
