Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Prospective, single arm, open label, multi-center study to evaluated the effectiveness of intraosseous basivertebral nerve radiofrequency ablation using the Intracept System.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study of patients diagnosed with vertebrogenic low back pain for a minimum of 6 months with conservative care. Participants will receive the Intracept System procedure to ablate the basivertebral nerve within the vertebral body. Treatment is performed on all vertebral bodies with Modic type 1 or type 2 changes on MRI from L3-S1.
