Evaluating the effectiveness of 7-min basivertebral nerve ablation in treating vertebrogenic low back pain
Although our study demonstrated that patients treated with BVNRFA with a 7-min ablation reported significant improvement in pain, the proportion of patients with a successful reduction of pain is likely lower than data published for 15-min ablations. Future controlled trials comparing outcomes and lesion sizes of 7- and 15-min BVNA are needed.
