Intracept Procedure for People with Low Back Pain

(IRB#: IRB_00186240)

Vertebrogenic low back painis caused by damage to parts of the spine called vertebral endplates. The damage can develop over time with the wear and tear on the back that comes from everyday activities. Vertebrogenic pain is usually felt in the middle of the low back and is often made worse by physical activity, prolonged sitting, bending forward, and lifting objects. The Intracept procedure is a treatment for low back pain. The procedure targets the basivertebral nerve, which is the nerve that sends pain signals from damaged endplates. The treatment has been shown to relieve pain long-term. This study will collect information from participants who are already scheduled to be treated for low back pain using the Intracept system. Participants in the study will complete surveys before and after the procedure. Participants may be asked to have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lower back. An MRI is a tool used to take images of inside the body. Being in the study requires attending up to 12 study visits at the study clinic or at home. The study will track the health of participants for about 5 years after the Intracept treatment.
