Summary

This trial studied the safety, effectiveness and satisfaction of a medical procedure for patients with chronic low-back pain.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 who've had chronic low back pain for at least 6 months and haven't improved after trying other treatments. It's specifically for those with certain types of spinal bone changes known as Modic type 1 or 2. People with severe heart or lung disease, or infections cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The Intracept Procedure is being evaluated in this study. It involves a minimally invasive technique to stop specific nerves within the spine from transmitting pain signals, aiming to reduce chronic lower back pain.
What are the potential side effects?
While not detailed here, side effects may include typical risks associated with minimally invasive spinal procedures such as discomfort at the treatment site, infection risk, and potential nerve damage.
