Group I: Thermal ablation of the medial nerve branch using High Intensity Focused UltrasoundExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Non-Invasive Thermal Ablation of the Medial Branch Nerves using the Neurolyser XR High Intensity Focused Ultrasound device
Group II: Sham treatmentPlacebo Group1 Intervention
The procedure would be done in an identical manner to the NeurolyserXR treatment without any person in the procedure room knowing that this is a sham procedure. The only difference is that the acoustic energy would not be output from the system during a sham procedure.

Why did patients apply to this trial?

I have been dealing with lower back pain for over 20 years. Over time the frequency and severity of the pain has gotten worse. Some days the pain is so intense it keeps me from going to work and some days I can barely stand on my own. I am not interested in any type of surgery and chiropractic treatments have been a very temporary solution at best.
PatientReceived no prior treatments
