Аннотация

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study is to investigate safety and effectiveness of a fluoroscopy-guided high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) system for thermal ablation of the lumbar medial branch nerves.

METHODS: This dual center prospective cohort study enrolled 30 participants with lumbar zygapophyseal joint syndrome. Each participant previously had a positive response to either a single diagnostic analgesic block or radiofrequency ablation (RFA). The primary effectiveness outcome was individual responder rate, defined as a reduction of two points or more on the pain intensity numerical rating scale without an increase in opioid intake, or a reduction in opioid intake without an increase in pain at 6 months after the intervention. The primary safety outcome was procedure-related or device-related adverse events (AEs). Secondary outcome variables included MRI evidence of tissue ablation, Oswestry Disability Index, 12-Item Short Form Health Survey, Brief Pain Inventory, and Patient Global Impression of Change.

RESULTS: The individual responder rate was 89.7% at 2 days, 89.7% at 7 days, 72.4% at 14 days, 82.1% at 30 days, 59.3% at 90 days and 82.6% at 180 days. The average Numeric Rating Scale for pain severity decreased from 7.1 at baseline to 3.0 (N=29) after 2 days, 3.0 (N=29) after 7 days, 3.1 (N=29) after 14 days, 3.2 (N=28) after 30 days, 4.3 (N=27) after 90 days, and 3.3 (N=23) after 180 days. All participants tolerated the procedure well with no significant side effects or complications.

CONCLUSIONS: Fluoroscopy-guided HIFU neurotomy achieved clinical responses comparable with RFA, and there were no significant device-related or procedure-related AEs.
