Timing and trajectory of pain and functional outcomes after basivertebral nerve ablation: a prospective cohort study
This is the first study to prospectively characterize the weekly time course of response following BVNA and demonstrates early, substantial, and durable improvements in pain and function. Most patients experienced meaningful relief within 3-6 weeks, and early response was sustained through 24 weeks. These findings support BVNA as a robust real-world intervention for vertebrogenic pain and highlight the prognostic value of early pain trajectory monitoring in predicting sustained outcomes.
