Abstract

Aim and Background: Using methods such as PULSED RADIOFREQUENCY (PRF) and nerve blocks are among the methods used in pain clinics to treat facet-originating LOW BACK PAIN. This study compares two methods of PULSED RADIOFREQUENCY and facet joint block (FJB) regarding pain recovery and improving disability of patients suffering from facet-originating LOW BACK PAIN. Methods and Materials: 50 patients with LOW BACK PAIN and positive response to diagnostic nerve block test with 0.5 ml of 2% lidocaine in L1-L3 and L3-L5 were included. The patients were randomly assigned to two groups of either PULSED RADIOFREQUENCY at a temperature below 40 degrees or FACET JOINT NERVE BLOCK. Demographic data including age, sex, pain intensity (based on VAS), motor ability (based on ODI) and patient satisfaction (0=none, 10=Excellent) before the treatment and at weeks 6 and 12 thereafter were recorded.Findings: Patients’ pain and ODI significantly improved in PRF group compared with FJB group at week 6 and 12 (p<0.05). Patients’ satisfaction in PRF group at week 6 and 12 was significantly more than the FJB group (p<0.05). Using analgesics in PRF group at week 6 and 12 was significantly lower than FJB group (p<0.05).Conclusions: PULSED RADIOFREQUENCY more favorably alleviates pain and improves ability in shortterm.
