[Percutaneous electrocoagulation of posterior ramus of spinal nerves in pain relief treatment of spondylogenic low back pain (author's transl)].
The author presents his results on 70 patients under treatment of low back pain by means of electrocoagulation of the posterior ramus of spinal nerves. In many cases of disc hernia it was possible to attain good results that enabled us to abandon the operative procedure. The best results were achieved in cases of sciatalgic pains, which were diminished more considerably than the local lumbosacral ones. When conservative methods fail, and no absolute operative indications exist, coagulation may be helpful in pain relief.
