Time to BBVNA Relief

Summary

Basivertebral nerve ablation (BVNA) is a minimally invasive procedure approved for vertebrogenic low back pain. While early studies support its efficacy, real-world evidence is still evolving, particularly regarding the trajectory of pain relief and functional improvement over time, and predictors of clinical response. This study aims to evaluate clinical outcomes longitudinally following BVNA and identify baseline predictors of response.

Detailed Description

Primary Objective: • To determine the proportion of patients achieving clinical response (defined as ≥50% reduction in VAS or ≥15-point improvement in ODI) following BVNA. Secondary Objectives: * To assess changes in PROMIS-7, PAVS, and other patient-reported outcomes. * To determine the incidence of further interventions such as epidural steroid injections (ESIs) or surgeries. * To evaluate temporal trends in response and adverse events. A total of 11 visits inclusive of follow up visits with schedule for study intervals. 1 baseline visit, 8 virtual/ phone weekly visits, 1 3-month virtual visit , 1 6-month , 1 12-month and 1 24-month visit.
