Abstract
Background Chronic spinal-origin pain poses a substantial clinical challenge, prompting the investigation of novel treatment modalities. This study aims to evaluate the potential application of spinal nerve dorsal root ganglion radiofrequency treatment in addressing chronic spinal-origin pain. Methods The study encompassed patients undergoing treatment for chronic spinal-origin pain, with a particular focus on those experiencing pain localized in specific regions. Inclusion criteria comprised patients with conditions such as a herniated intervertebral disc or foraminal stenosis leading to compression of descending or exiting nerve roots, accompanied by reported radicular pain in the lower limb. Results There was no significant difference in comparability between the two groups (P > 0.05). The clinical effective rate in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The VAS scores of the study group at 2 weeks and one month after treatment were significantly lower than those of the control group (P < 0.05). The PSQI index of the study group after treatment was significantly lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion Spinal nerve dorsal root ganglion radiofrequency treatment has significant clinical efficacy in chronic spinal-origin pain, bringing noticeable improvement in symptoms and sleep quality for patients. The occurrence of complications is relatively low, and it can be reduced through strict operational standards and pre- and post-operative management. However, caution should be exercised in its widespread application, but it is worthy of broad clinical use.
