Abstract:Fluoroscopically guided percutaneous radiofrequency denervation of the lumbar facets is associated with an overall 1.0% incidence of minor complications per lesion site.
“…A common rationale for the consideration of IPM for a patient with intractable and severely disabling pain is the expectation for low risk or harm with its administration. From a strictly biomedical perspective, outcome studies indicate that interventional procedures, while not without some risk [124], are generally safe when conducted by well-trained and skilled practitioners [115,125]. However, from a broader biopsychosocial view, IPM can impart considerable harm through its influence on beliefs about pain and a diminished emphasis on the patient's role in managing pain.…”

The field of pain medicine has shifted from multidisciplinary rehabilitation to procedure-focused interventional pain medicine (IPM). Considerable controversy exists regarding the efficacy of IPM and its more narrow focus on nociception as an exclusive target of pain treatment. This topical review aims to examine pain research and treatment outcome studies that support a biopsychosocial model of pain, and to critique the clinical practice of IPM given its departure from the premises of a biopsychosocial model. A modern definition of pain and findings from clinical and basic science studies indicate that pain-related psychological factors are integral to pain perception. The clinical viability of IPM is challenged based upon its biomedical view of peripheral nociception as a primary source of pain and the potential of this viewpoint to foster maladaptive pain attributions and discourage the use of pain coping strategies among chronic pain patients. IPM should adopt a biopsychosocial perspective on pain and operate within a framework of multidisciplinary pain rehabilitation to improve its effectiveness.

“…У сучасній літературі клінічним проявам та спосо-бам лікування фасеточного синдрому приділяється достатньо уваги [10][11][12]. Разом із тим деякі дослідни-ки відкидають клінічне значення спондилоартрозу [13,14], а інші автори відводять йому мало не осно-вну роль у генезі поперекового болю [15,16].…”

“…20 Finally, the RF-neurotomy of the medial branch is the only available, effective treatment option for facet joint pain when conservative treatment has failed. 61 It can be performed in an outpatient setting, has a low complication rate 89 and provides a pain relief of up to one year in a substantial part of patients, if the accurate technique is used. 67,75,76 When pain returns, the effect can be reinstated equally successful by repeating the procedure.…”
