Abstract

The basivertebral nerve (BVN) has been a recently discovered target as a potential source for vertebrogenic chronic low back pain (CLBP). Prior randomized controlled trials have demonstrated safety and efficacy of BVN ablation for vertebrogenic CLBP, but minimal data exists regarding BVN ablation's clinical effectiveness with broader application outside of strict trial inclusion criteria.
