NCT ID NCT07696507

First seen Jul 10, 2026 · Last updated Jul 10, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a device that uses controlled heat to target a nerve inside the spine bone can safely reduce disability and pain in adults with long-term low back pain. Participants must have had pain for at least 6 months and have specific changes on MRI. All receive the procedure, with no untreated comparison group, and are followed for 6 months.

Active substance
Radiofrequency basivertebral nerve ablation device (Spinery® RF Generator and accessories)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a new, minimally invasive option for people with chronic low back pain that hasn't improved with other treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early study with no comparison group, so results may not prove the device works better than placebo or other treatments. Risks include procedure-related pain, infection, or nerve damage.
