This study compares two methods of pulsed radiofrequency and facet joint block (FJB)regarding pain recovery and improving disability of patients suffering from facet-originating low back pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: small&quot;&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Calibri&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-family: Nazanin&quot;&gt;Material and Method&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-family: Nazanin&quot;&gt;:&amp;nbsp;50 patients with low back pain and positive response to diagnostic nerve block test with 0.5 ml of 2% lidocaine in L1-L3 and L3-L5 were included The patients were &lt;span style=&quot;mso-spacerun: yes&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;randomly assigned to two groups of either pulsed radiofrequency at a temperature below 40 degrees or facet joint nerve block. Demographic data including age, sex, pain intensity (based on VAS), motor ability (based on ODI) and patient satisfaction (0 = none, 10= Excellent) before the treatment and at weeks 6 and 12 thereafter were recorded.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-align: justify margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-family: Nazanin&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri font-size: small&quot;&gt;Findings:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-family: Nazanin&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Calibri font-size: small&quot;&gt; Patients&amp;rsquo; pain and ODI significantly improved in PRF group compared with FJB group at week 6 and 12 (p&lt;0/05).&amp;nbsp; Patients&amp;rsquo; satisfaction in PRF group&amp;nbsp;at week 6 and 12 was significantly more than the FJB group (p&lt;0/05). Using analgesics in PRF group at week 6 and 12 was significantly lower than FJB group.&amp;nbsp;(p&lt;0/05)&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion:&lt;/strong&gt; pulsed radiofrequency has short-term acceptable outcomes in comparison with facet joint nerve block, regarding pain recovery and ability.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
