No results posted yet for this study

Summary

In suspected facet joints pain, it is recommended to perform nerve blocks to establish the diagnosis with positive results being and indicator of successful of most permanent treatment of facet pain by rhizolysis. Nevertheless, the usefulness of intraarticular joint injection for diagnosis and prediction of successful neurolysis have been scarcely studied. The main purpose of this trial is to compare both methods, nerve block and intra articular injection, in diagnosis and treatment of facet joints pain.
