Chronic low back pain affects a significant portion of patients worldwide and is a major contributor to patient disability; however, it is a difficult problem to diagnose and treat. The prevailing model of chronic low back pain has presumed to follow a discogenic model, but recent studies have shown a vertebrogenic model that involves the basivertebral nerve (BVN). Radiofrequency ablation of the BVN has emerged as a possible nonsurgical therapy for vertebrogenic low back pain. The objective of this manuscript is to provide a comprehensive review of vertebrogenic pain diagnosis and our current understanding of BVN ablation as treatment.
