Summary

This study tested whether a higher-voltage version of a nerve treatment (pulsed radiofrequency) could better relieve chronic pain in the lower back and leg. Twenty-two adults with pain lasting at least 12 weeks received either standard or high-voltage treatment. Researchers measured pain levels, disability, and safety over about six weeks.
