ObjectiveWe calculated the average total facility and professional cost of medial branch neurotomy (MBN) procedure and diagnostic medial branch blocks (MBBs), based on increments of MBB results (50–100% cutoff values), to determine the most cost‐effective protocol that correlates with positive MBN outcome.
Design/MethodsWe evaluated both actual cost and the theoretical cost of procedures in three...
Objective.We sought an optimal medial branch block (MBB) cutoff value for both single and double MBB protocols that would best correlate with a positive outcome of medial branch neurotomy (MBN).
Outcome Measures.We analyzed the percentage of subjective pain relief following MBB, confirmed by numerical rating scale (NRS) in aggravating positions before and 45 minutes after MBB. The percentage of overall...
