与保守医疗管理相比，射频神经切开术治疗腰椎小关节病的多齿可扩展电极 (MEE) 疗效和安全性评估。 (MEE)
The purpose of this study is to better understand how people feel after a radiofrequency ablation standard of care surgery using a different type of needle (multi-tined expandable electrode/MEE) in comparison to receiving conventional medical management (CMM) techniques.

有源比较器：Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with MEE
Radiofrequency ablation involves a minimally invasive procedural technique. It uses radiofrequency waves to burn the nerve causing pain. This nerve will no longer be able to send pain signals to your brain. For this study, the multi-tined expandable electrode needle will be used. This needle will result in a larger treatment area. This may result in better pain relief and longer lasting pain relief. If you undergo the radiofrequency ablation procedure you will have pain medication injected where the ablation will be done. The procedure will take about 20 mins to complete. You will be allowed to go home afterward. |
RFA will be performed in the usual fashion utilizing the MEE instead of the RFA needles routinely used at each institution. |

有源比较器：Conventional Medical Management (CMM) Treatment Only
Your current standard of care treatment may already consist of some CMM therapies. Standard of care includes a variety of intervention types such as medication, physical therapy, home exercise programs, back brace, walking aid, and chiropractic care. |
Conventional medical management (CMM), which may include physical therapy, home exercise programs, pain medication, and other conservative therapies such as back brace, walking aid, and chiropractic care. |
