About this trial
This study aims to evaluate the treatment response and lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of patients who have undergone pulsed radiofrequency therapy for chronic radicular lumbar pain at the dorsal root ganglia. By comparing young (18-64 years) and geriatric (≥65 years) patient groups, the study seeks to assess the impact of age on treatment response and opioid consumption. Additionally, it aims to analyze the potential relationship between paraspinal muscle fat infiltration and treatment outcomes.
