Low Back Pain-related Healthcare Utilization following Intraosseous Basivertebral Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation: A Pooled Analysis from Three Prospective Clinical Trials.
Low Back Pain-related Healthcare Utilization following Intraosseous Basivertebral Nerve Radiofrequency Ablation: A Pooled Analysis from Three Prospective Clinical Trials. Pain medicine (Malden, Mass.) McCormick, Z. L., Curtis, T., Cooper, A., Wheatley, M., Smuck, M. 2023Abstract
The effectiveness and safety of intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) for treating vertebrogenic pain is established, but low back pain-related healthcare utilization (LBPr-HU) following BVNA continues to be defined.LBPr-HU data were pooled from three prospective studies. LBPr-HU categories of interest included non-invasive conservative care, opioid utilization, lumbosacral spinal injection (LSI), lumbosacral radiofrequency ablation (LRFA), and lumbosacral spinal surgery. Pre- and post-BVNA LBPr-HU were compared at both one- and five-years using McNemar's test for proportions and paired t-tests for means.Two hundred forty-seven patients received BVNA and had one-year follow-up; 205 had long-term follow-up (mean of 5.3?±?1.33?years). Twenty-seven percent fewer participants initiated conservative care in the year post-BVNA compared to the year preceding BVNA (p?
