简要总结
There is conflicting evidence on whether radio-frequency neurotomy of the medial branch has a significant effect on pain in patients with chronic unilateral facet joint neck and back pain.
We will evaluate radiofrequency treatment on medial-branch of the ramus dorsalis as an effective pain treatment for patients with chronic pain originated from facet-joints in cervical and lumbar columna.
