Summary

Postoperative lumbar spine pain syndrome (FBSS) refers to patients who have undergone surgery for lumbar spine disease one or more times and still have intractable lumbosacral pain after surgery, with or without lower limb sensory and motor dysfunction. Pain is the main reason for reducing patients' quality of life. Hussain and Erdek believe that despite up to 3 months of postoperative intervention, pain may still exist. Since persistent pain seriously affects patients' daily life and work, optimizing the FBSS treatment plan and improving the quality of life of FBSS patients cannot be ignored. At present, the treatment methods for neuropathic pain radiated to the lower extremity after lumbar spine surgery mainly include oral drug therapy, nerve block, pulsed radio frequency (PRF) and spinal cord electrical stimulation, and other minimally invasive interventional methods. Still, there is no domestic or foreign treatment method is reported in the literature to be effective.

Conditions

  • Neuralgia
  • Failed Back Surgery Syndrome

Interventions

DEVICE

standard pulsed radio frequency (PRF)

patients will be given standard pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment: temperature 42 ℃, frequency 2 Hz, pulse width 20 ms, voltage 37-41 V, time 120 s.

DEVICE

high-voltage long-term pulsed radio frequency (PRF)

patients will be given standard pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) treatment: temperature 42 ℃, frequency 2 Hz, pulse width 20 ms, voltage 50-90 V, At the beginning, the patient will feel a severe burning sensation in the original pain area, and slowly after the patient tolerates it. Increase the voltage and gradually increase to the maximum voltage that the patient can tolerate (up to 70-90 V) until the end of 900 s.
