Radiofrequency Denervation for Neck and Back Pain: A Systematic Review Within the Framework of the Cochrane Collaboration Back Review Group

Abstract: There is limited evidence that radiofrequency denervation offers short-term relief for chronic neck pain of zygapophysial joint origin and for chronic cervicobrachial pain, and conflicting evidence for its effectiveness for lumbar zygapophysial joint pain. There is limited evidence suggesting that intradiscal radiofrequency may not be effective in relieving discogenic low back pain. Further high-quality randomized controlled trials are needed, with larger patient samples and data on long-term effects, for whic… Show more

“…Data were gathered from the latest Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2005, Issue 2. The last amendment of the review on injection therapy for subacute and chronic benign low back pain was made in 1996 [70], on surgery for lumbar disc prolapse in March 1997 [36], on radiofrequency denervation in April 2002 [71], on prolotherapy in January 2004 [98], and on surgery for degenerative lumbar spondylosis (including lytic spondylolisthesis) in February 2005 [37]. Surgery for specific pathologies such as tumours, trauma, infection, and myelopathic syndromes were excluded.…”

“…. Three of these were excluded from further consideration: two studies ("manual therapy" vs. "exercise therapy"), because the patients in the manual therapy group also received a substantial amount of exercise therapy, making the respective effects of the manual therapy and the exercise therapy difficult to ascertain (Aure et al 2003, Niemisto et al 2003); and a third ("folk-medicine bone-setting" vs "exercise therapy" vs "physiotherapy"), because the treatment given in the "bone-setting" group was not comparable with the type of manual therapy (administered by medically qualified personnel) described in all the other trials used to form these recommendations (Hemmila et al 2002). Furthermore, the physiotherapy group in this trial also received manual therapy, and the descriptions of the treatments (especially the exercise therapy) were unclear and not consistent in the two papers published from the trial.…”

“…По-вторно інтерес до даної патології виник в 70-ті роки минулого століття у зв'язку з вдалим досвідом ліку-вання болю в спині шляхом денервації міжхребцевих суглобів [4]. З'являється поняття «фасеточний син-дром», а з ним і велика кількість робіт, присвячених різноманітним способам денервації суглобів, мето-диці відбору хворих для проведення даної процедури та порівняльному аналізу різних способів лікування [5][6][7][8]. Приблизно в 40 % випадків причиною хро-нічного болю в нижній частині спини є фасеточний синдром, цей процент збільшується в старшій віко-вій популяції хворих [9].…”

“…Дослідження ефективності методу радіочастотної денервації фа-сеточних суглобів, що контролювались імітаційни-ми техніками, показали незначні переваги методу радіочастотної денервації [18,19]. Єдності у ав-торів щодо ефективності радіочастотної денерва-ції фасеточних суглобів немає.…”
