Summary

This study followed 50 people with chronic low back pain for 10 years after they had a procedure that involved puncturing a spinal disc. Researchers compared MRI scans and pain levels before and after to see if the puncture made the disc wear out faster. The goal was to learn whether these procedures are safe over the long term.
