ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the efficacy of plasma radiofrequency ablation at low temperature in disc combined with collagenase injection out of disc in patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation.Methods Fifty-six patients suffering from cervical intervertebral disc herniation with headache,dizziness,and pain in the neck and in the shoulder were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =28 each):collagenase injection out of disc group (group C) and plasma radiofrequency ablation at low temperature in disc combined with collagenase injection out of disc group (group R).All operations were carried out under CT guidance.Results At the sixth month of follow up after treatment,the remission rates of headache,dizziness and pain in the neck and in the shoulder were 86％,79％,and 93％ in group C and 96％,93％,and 100％ in group R,.respectively,with significant difference between the two groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ) Conclusion The efficacy of plasma radiofrequency ablation at low temperature in disc combined with collagenase injection out of disc is much better than collagenase single in patients with cervical intervertebral disc herniation.
