The effectiveness of sacral lateral branch radiofrequency neurotomy for posterior sacroiliac joint complex pain in patients selected by dual sacral lateral branch blocks; A real-world cohort study
SLBRFN reduced pain and disability in approximately 50 % of patients at 3 months when selected using relatively restrictive selection criteria. Treatment success was associated with multi-tined RF probe type and lower patient BMI. Larger prospective studies assessing long-term outcomes are needed to further evaluate the impact of different selection criteria and techniques on SLBRFN effectiveness.
