Efficacy and Safety of Cryoneurolysis versus Radiofrequency Ablation for Lumbar Facet Joint Syndrome: A Systematic Review
By Anak Agung Gede Wira Pratama Yasa and Diah Pramesti Cahyani.
Abstract
Background
Lumbar facet joint syndrome is a recognised source of chronic axial low back pain. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is widely used after prognostic medial branch blocks, whereas cryoneurolysis is an alternative neuroablative approach intended to interrupt nociceptive conduction while permitting axonal regeneration.
