Abstract

Purpose: Nowadays, low back pain (LBP) is an important health problem. Radiofrequency (RF) treatments can generate different temperature levels by transferring energy to the targeted tissue, and which is an effective interventional treatment method for LBP patients. In this study, we compared the effects of pulsed and conventional RF treatments on patients with LBP.
