Actual (reported)In this study, investigators compared the effectiveness of medial branch conventional radiofrequency application and combined radiofrequency application in patients with lumbar facet joint disease , focusing on pain scores. The combined radiofrequency application, a sequence of pulsed radiofrequency and conventional radiofrequency , has been shown to be successful in treating neck pain and headache. These findings are of significant importance in the field of pain management and spinal disorders.

The NRS scores of the patients before the procedure and 6 and 12 months after the procedure .NRS in which individuals rate their pain on an ten-point numerical scale. Zero:''no pain at all' ten-point ''severe pain''
In this group, only patients who had facet joint medial branch conventional RF applied to the patients who benefited after diagnostic injection into the facet joint were selected.
This group was selected retrospectively from patients who benefited from diagnostic injection into the facet joint and who underwent pulsed rf in addition to facet joint medial branch conventional rf.
The conventional RF group consists of patients who received medial branch RF with a duration of 2 minutes, at 80̊ C temperature, and 7 Volts.
In the combined RF group, treatment was initiated first with a conventional RF duration of 2 minutes at a temperature of 80̊ C at 7 Volts. Then, pulsed RF duration was applied for 6 minutes at a temperature of 42 C at 45 Volts, with a pulse frequency of 2 Hz and a width of 20 ms.
Patients who are clinically diagnosed with lumbar facet joint pain after getting a pain reduction of over 50% following a selective diagnostic block (0.5 ml 2% lidocaine) performed on the facet joint medial branch block and after then RF (cobined or conventional) application under fluoroscopy.
