Lumbar Facet Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Versus Medial Branch Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Lumbar Facet-Mediated Pain
A Randomized Controlled Trial Comparing Intra-Periarticular Lumbar Facet Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection Versus Medial Branch Radiofrequency Ablation for Chronic Lumbar Facet-Mediated Pain
The first clinical research effort under this initiative is a pilot randomized controlled trial comparing intra-periarticular lumbar facet platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection to standard-of-care medial branch radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for chronic lumbar facet-mediated pain.
The study is designed to:
- Use contemporary best-practice techniques for both treatment arms
- Minimize incremental risk beyond standard care
- Generate feasibility, safety, and preliminary comparative effectiveness data
- Inform future definitive trials and potential program expansion

介入・治療 |
|---|---|
|
実験的:Platelet-Rich-Plasma Injection
Participants will receive fluoroscopically guided intra-periarticular lumbar facet platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection for the treatment of chronic lumbar facet-mediated pain.
|
Autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) will be prepared using the Arthrex ACP double-syringe system according to manufacturer instructions.
PRP will be injected into the lumbar facet joint and/or periarticular region under fluoroscopic guidance using sterile technique.
|
|
アクティブコンパレータ:Radiofrequency Ablation
Participants will undergo lumbar medial branch radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for the treatment of chronic lumbar facet-mediated pain.
|
Lumbar medial branch radiofrequency ablation will be performed under fluoroscopic guidance using standard thermal radiofrequency lesioning techniques targeting the medial branch nerves supplying the symptomatic lumbar facet joints.
