Zapping a nerve inside the spine bone may ease chronic back pain
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
