Described herein are various implementations of systems and methods for treating back pain (e.g., chronic low back pain) caused by different (e.g., independent) sources of pain, such as pain originating or stemming from intervertebral discs, from vertebral endplates, and/or from intraosseous locations within one or more vertebral bodies. For examples, methods for treating back pain (e.g., chronic low back pain) may involve both vertebral fusion (e.g., arthrodesis or spondylodesis to fuse adjacent vertebrae) and neuromodulation (for example, ablation of nerves within or surrounding one or more of the adjacent vertebrae). The neuromodulation may facilitate treatment of pain that is generated by insertion of fusion hardware.
A method of treating multiple independent sources of low back pain of a patient during a single therapeutic intervention, the method comprising:
A method of treating multiple independent sources of low back pain of a patient having two adjacent vertebrae in a lumbar or lumbosacral region, each vertebra comprising a vertebral body with a cortical bone region and a cancellous bone region containing intraosseous nerves, during a single therapeutic intervention, the method comprising:
