"Radiofrequency Treatment of Iliac and Paravertebral Cluneal Nerves for Low Back Pain. Pain Physician."

Investigación y Educación

"Background Paravertebral cluneal nerves are constrained within a tunnel consisting of the thoracolumbar fascia and the iliac crest's superior rim as they pass over the iliac crest. Their involvement in low back pain has not been presented previously.

Objective: To develop a diagnostic and therapeutic protocol for radiofrequency ablation of paravertebral and iliac cluneal trigger points.

Conclusion: " Cluneal trigger points should be considered in the differential diagnosis of pain in the lower back, flank, lower abdominal, buttock, trochanteric, groin, and thigh area. It is one form of so-called ""pseudo-sciatica."" The authors' diagnostic injection protocol suggests that most patients with cluneal trigger points may successfully be treated with percutaneous radiofrequency ablation."
