Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
This study aims to compare the efficacy of short-duration (240 sec) and long-duration (480 sec) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) applications on pain, functionality, patient satisfaction, and side effect profiles in patients with lumbosacral radicular pain. The PRF procedure will be applied to the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) under fluoroscopic guidance.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
In the short-duration PRF group, a PRF cycle will be applied at 42°C for 240 seconds, while in the long-duration group, it will be applied at 42°C for 480 seconds. Following the PRF application, epidural spread will be confirmed using contrast dye, after which 4 mL of a solution containing 8 mg dexamethasone and 5 mg bupivacaine will be injected at each level.
