简要总结
The aim of this study is to compare early and long term efficacy of lumbar radiofrequency nucleoplasty and targeted disc decompression in patients with lumbar radiculopathy who failed previous conventional therapy. Medical records of 37 patients undergoing targeted disc decompression, 36 patients undergoing lumbar radiofrequency nucleoplasty were retrospectively examined.Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), Functional Rating Index, Backache index, Oswestry Lumbar Back Pain Disability Index, Rolland-Morris Lumbar Back Pain Questionnaire scales were used before treatment and 1,6,12 months after the procedure.
