Summary

The goal of this observational study is to learn about changes in brain and its activity of following radiofrequency denervation treatment for chronic low back pain. The main question it aims to answer are:

* report the magnitude of the brain changes following radiofrequency treatment for low back pain.
* identify changes unique to radiofrequency treatment

Patients with nociceptive type low back pain of moderate to severe intensity will be identified to undergo radiofrequency treatment. They will have 3 MRI scans - Baseline, after the diagnostic injections and 3 months after radiofrequency treatment. They will also fill questions relating to their pain, disability and health related quality of life.
