  • Interventional Physiatry
    Interventional Physiatry Diagnosis Medical Branch Block & Radiofrequency Ablation Treatment Prepared by: Tufts PM&R Medical staff Overview and indications for procedure: Lumbar Facet joints (also known as the Zygapophysial joints or Z-joints) are paired structures on both side of your spine that allows movement between two vertebrae. When a facet joints are strained (car accident, fall, injuries) ,degenerative changes settles in these joints or there is a shift between two vertebrae (spondylolisthesis) , the joints could become the source of back pain. Pain may be localized to the lower back or radiating to the buttock, posterior hamstring, groin area or to side of the legs (colored figure credit: Nature Reviews Rheumatology 9 , 216-224 , April 2013) . Medial branch block: Pain information from the facet joints travels to the brain via small nerve endings called medial branches. In order to determine whether or not the facet joint are causing pain, medial branch nerves could be diagnostically blocked and patient can determine whether or not there was a changes in their pain after the procedure. Medial branch block (MBB) is performed twice to confirm the correct diagnoses and the correct number of facets contributing to pain. Clinicians are looking for improvement of pain between 50 - 100% after each diagnostic block. When patient experiences significant reduced pain with diagnostic medical branch injections on 2 separate occasions, he/ she is considered a good candidate to proceed to radiofrequency ablation treatment. Radiofrequency ablation treatment: This procedure is performed after diagnostic medial branch injection is performed and it is determined (with a reasonable degree of certainty) that facet joints are the source of individuals back pain.

  • Endoscopic Rhizotomy for Chronic Lumbar Zygapophysial Joint Pain
    Xue et al. Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research (2020) 15:4 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13018-019-1533-y RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Endoscopic rhizotomy for chronic lumbar zygapophysial joint pain Yuntao Xue1, Tao Ding1* , Dajie Wang2, Jianli Zhao3, Huilin Yang4, Xiaofeng Gu1, Dehong Feng1, Yafeng Zhang5, Hao Liu6, Fenglin Tang1, Wanyi Wang1, Miao Lu1 and Chao Wu7 Abstract Background: Chronic lumbar zygapophysial joint pain is a common cause of chronic low back pain. Percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is one of the effective management options; however, the results from the traditional RFA need to be improved in certain cases. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation under endoscopic guidance (ERFA) for chronic low back pain secondary to facet joint arthritis. Methods: This is a prospective study enrolled 60 patients. The cases were randomized into two groups: 30 patients in the control group underwent traditional percutaneous radiofrequency ablation, others underwent ERFA. The lumbar visual analog scale (VAS), MacNab score, and postoperative complications were used to evaluate the outcomes. All outcome assessments were performed at postoperative 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months. Results: There was no difference between the two groups in preoperative VAS (P > 0.05). VAS scores, except the postoperative first day, in all other postoperative time points were significantly lower than preoperative values each in both groups (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the two groups in VAS at 1 day, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery (P > 0.05). However, the EFRA demonstrated significant benefits at the time points of 3 months and 6 months (P > 0.05).

  • Diffusion Tensor Imaging for Assessment of Microstructural
    Chen et al. BMC Neurology (2019) 19:62 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12883-019-1295-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Diffusion tensor imaging for assessment of microstructural changes associate with treatment outcome at one-year after radiofrequency Rhizotomy in trigeminal neuralgia Shu-Tian Chen1, Jen-Tsung Yang2, Hsu-Huei Weng1, Hsueh-Lin Wang1, Mei-Yu Yeh3 and Yuan-Hsiung Tsai1* Abstract Background: Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is characterized by facial pain that may be sudden, intense, and recurrent. Neurosurgical interventions, such as radiofrequency rhizotomy, can relieve TN pain, but their mechanisms and effects are unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate the microstructural tissue changes of the trigeminal nerve (TGN) in patients with TN after they underwent radiofrequency rhizotomy. Methods: Thirty-seven patients with TN were recruited, and diffusion tensor imaging was obtained before and two weeks after radiofrequency rhizotomy. By manually selecting the cisternal segment of the TGN, we measured the volume of the TGN, fractional anisotropy (FA), apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC), axial diffusivity (AD), and radial diffusivity (RD). The TGN volume and mean value of the DTI metrics of the post-rhizotomy lesion side were compared with those of the normal side and those of the pre-rhizotomy lesion side, and they were correlated to the post-rhizotomy visual analogue scale (VAS) pain scores after a one-year follow-up. Results: The alterations before and after rhizotomy showed a significantly increased TGN volume and FA, and a decreased ADC, AD, and RD. The post-rhizotomy lesion side showed a significantly decreased TGN volume, FA, and AD compared with the normal side; however, no significant difference in the ADC and RD were found between the groups.
