Summary

This study compared four minimally invasive procedures—vertebroplasty, kyphoplasty, stentoplasty, and thermal facet ablation—for treating pain from vertebral compression fractures. Researchers enrolled 1000 adults with chronic back pain due to these fractures. The goal was to see which method provides the best pain relief shortly after the procedure and at two months.
