Condition: Chronic Low Back Pain (CLBP) · Sponsor: University of Washington
The purpose of the ASTRAL Study is to evaluate the effectiveness of LRFA (Lumbar radiofrequency ablation) against a control procedure. The ASTRAL Study will enroll individuals with chronic low back pain (CLBP) and randomly assign them to one of three groups: lumbar radiofrequency ablation using conventional electrodes placed parallel to the medial branch nerves (LRFA-C), lumbar radiofrequency ablation using multi-tined electrodes placed perpendicular to the medial branch nerves (LRFA-M), or a simulated radiofrequency ablation procedure.
