Abstract

Aims: The aim of this study was to determine whether there exists a difference in efficacy in the treatment of lumbar radiculopathy with quantum molecular resonance coablative radiofrequency and quantum molecular resonance coablative radiofrequency and percutaneous microdiscectomy with grasper forceps (QMRG). Patients & methods: A total of 28 patients from La Fe University and Polytechnic Hospital in Valencia were enrolled in a retrospective cohort. Results: Treatment with QMRG significantly improved non-sleep-related and sleep-related outcome measures. At 6 months post-intervention, treatment with QMRG resulted in significantly better scores in numeric rating scale, Oswestry Disability Index, Short Form 12 Health Survey Physical and Total, Patient Global Impression of Improvement, sleep disturbance and the two sleep problems indexes. Conclusion: Treatment of lumbar radiculopathy with QMRG appears to be more effective at 6 months post-intervention.
