Summary

This study tests if a procedure called radiofrequency ablation (using heat to block pain signals from nerves) can reduce disability from chronic low back pain. About 300 adults with pain lasting at least 3 months will be randomly assigned to receive one of two types of this heat treatment or a fake procedure. The main goal is to see if the real treatments improve daily function more than the sham.
