摘要：

Significant controversy exists in the literature about whether dual medial branch blocks (MBBs) are necessary before undergoing facet thermal radiofrequency ablation (tRFA).1-3 The current literature on one versus two MBBs, particularly those related to pain outcomes after tRFA, is of limited power due to their small sample sizes.4 5 This analysis aims to add to this evolving discussion by assessing pain and time to treatment in a large sample of patients undergoing one versus two MBBs before tRFA. © American Society of Regional Anesthesia & Pain Medicine 2023.
