Description
Charles Odonkor and co-authors chart the timing of relief after a spine nerve treatment for back pain, in work from 2025. The treatment burns a small nerve inside the backbone that carries pain from worn joints. It is cleared for a defined type of back pain, yet relief timing was poorly known.
The cohort held 86 patients treated at one academic center over one year. All had scan signs matching the target pain type. Patients reported pain weekly for eight weeks, then at three and six months. The study logs when half relief first arrived for each patient. It also tests whether early gains predict lasting response, which helps set patient hopes.
