New spine procedure tracked in 1,500 patients for back pain relief

NCT ID NCT06827262

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study is following 1,500 people with chronic low back pain caused by a condition called vertebrogenic pain syndrome. All participants will receive the Intracept procedure, which uses radiofrequency energy to ablate (disable) certain nerves in the spine thought to cause pain. The main goal is to see how much their disability changes over time using a standard questionnaire. This is an observational study, meaning researchers are just watching what happens in real-world use, not comparing it to another treatment.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Intracept™ Intraosseous Nerve Ablation (a device procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to ablate nerves in the spine)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could confirm that the Intracept procedure is a safe and effective option for people with chronic vertebrogenic back pain, potentially reducing disability and improving quality of life.

What could go wrong

This is an observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less definitive. The procedure is already approved, but individual outcomes can vary, and there are risks like infection or nerve damage.
