U.S., Oct. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07222462) titled 'A Superiority Trial of Radiofrequency Ablation for Low Back Pain' on Oct. 27.
Brief Summary: 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.
