Basivertebral Nerve Ablation
Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (intraosseous basivertebral nerve ablation) is a minimally invasive procedure that is indicated for Vertebrogenic Pain. This is a safe and effective treatment method that allows you to most accurately relieve chronic low back pain and avoid Spine Surgery.
Basivertebral Nerve Ablation for Chronic Discogenic Back Pain is often performed. The Sinuvertebral Nerve Treatment procedure has no age restrictions and is highly effective. Doctors at NJ Medical Center reported that they can use Basivertebral Nerve Ablation (BNA) to treat patients with vertebrogenic chronic lumbodynia and for the treatment of chronic Lumbar Degenerative Disease, among other treatment options.
Efficiency of intracept procedure for damage to vertebral endplates
Depending on your condition and your symptoms of back pain, Intracept basivertacle ablation may be effective in reducing the vertebrogenic low back pain. BI-vertebral nerve ablation can reduce back pain caused due to vertebral endplate nerve disease. Patients with low back problems often cannot get relief from other conservative treatment like medicine or physical therapy. The new pain minimization treatment for spinal nerve has demonstrated high patient well-being.
A majority of patients reported 75% to 100% pain reduction at five years after the Basivertebral Nerve Ablation intracept procedure.
The cumulative data among multiple studies on Basivertebral Nerve Ablation intracept procedure demonstrated consistent, reproducible, clinically meaningful, and statistically significant improvement in reducing pain, opioid utilization reduction and improving function in patients with diagnostic evidence of vertebral pain.
Evidence for Basivertebral nerve Ablation for sinuvertebral nerve treatment
Basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) can be performed to treat chronic lower back pain resulting from a vertebral-endocrine-mediated disease that is phenotypically identified through vertebral End Plate Damage (vertebral body endplate low), often called Modic change.
The radiofrequency ablation method is based on a minimally invasive treatment intracept procedure that eliminates a common source of vertebrogenic pain arising from damaged human lumbar vertebra (vertebral endplate damage).
Deep within the spine, the basivertebral nerve transmits pain sensations from the vertebral endplates, vertebral body marrow, and disc cartilage. Pain originating from the structures within the vertebrae, like the endplates, marrow, and disc cartilage, is carried by the basivertebral nerve.
Technique or Treatment
BVN ablations are performed at an outpatient facility under medical guidance of a qualified physician or surgical technician. It has technical similarities with vertebral endplates augmentation since it uses a transpedicular approach although a extrapedicular approach has been described, but also with lumbar radiofrequency ablation. Initially it involves placing the patient in a prone position under general anesthetic with continuous cardiac and oximetry pulses and blood pressure monitoring.
The probe is connected to a radiofrequency generator, and radiofrequency energy is used to create approximately a 1 cm spherical lesion (85 degrees C for 15 minutes) at the BVN terminus.
Upon completion, the radiofrequency probe and the introducer cannula are removed, and the subcutaneous tissue and skin are closed in a standard sterile fashion with a pressure dressing and skin glue or steri-strips. Sutures or staples are usually not necessary. Patients are transferred to a post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) for monitoring
Conclusion
Using clear criteria for selecting patients, it can be argued that this method is effective in the treatment of chronic low back pain syndrome associated with Modic I, II type changes according to MRI. Long-term (up to 12 months or more) remission of pain syndrome can be achieved.
