Summary: Recent evidence suggests that cooled radiofrequency ablation of sacral nerves supplying the SI joints has superior pain alleviating properties than currently available treatment options for SI joint dysfunction.

Summary: Cooled-radiofrequency ablation (CRFA) is effective and safe for chronic lumbar facet joint-related pain. Significant pain relief was achieved at 1st (4-8 weeks) and 2nd (>2-6 months) follow-ups, with comparable duration of pain relief to traditional radiofrequency ablation.

Summary: This study compares the efficacy of intraarticular steroid injections and lateral branch radiofrequency neurotomy for the treatment of sacroiliac joint pain. The results show that both interventions provide significant pain relief, with lateral branch radiofrequency neurotomy offering a longer duration of relief compared to intraarticular steroid injections.

Summary: The inferior part of the SIJ posterior ligamentous region appears to be the main source of SIJ-related pain and is innervated by lumbar and sacral nerves via the PSN. However, the superior part directly innervated by lumbar nerves should not be neglected, and further clinical verification is needed.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the utilization patterns of sacroiliac joint interventions, with a decrease in intraarticular injections and fusion, but an increase in arthrodesis.

Summary: Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a popular intervention for chronic pain management, providing a less invasive option with better results than previous treatments. However, the evidence from randomized controlled trials is limited and mixed. This systematic review evaluated the quality of support for using RFA to treat sacroiliac joint pain and found that the majority of publications supported its use. More research is needed to determine the long-term benefits of RFA.

Summary: This study used biportal endoscopic radiofrequency ablation (BERA) to treat patients with low back pain. The advantage of BERA is its ability to directly identify and ablate the innervating nerve to the joint, allowing for a more expanded working angle compared to traditional single-port endoscopy. The study showed clinically relevant improvements in both visual analog scale and Oswestry Disability Index scores at 1-, 6-, and 12-month follow-up time points after surgery, with an overall patient satisfaction score of 89.1%.

Summary: The present systematic review and meta-analysis provide evidence that intraarticular injections in the sacroiliac joint are a fair therapeutic option for managing low back pain of sacroiliac joint origin. However, further studies are needed to confirm these findings and address the limitations identified.

Summary: The study found that all three types of RF provided significant pain relief for patients undergoing denervation of the sacroiliac joint, with high rates of pain relief maintenance for up to 6 months of follow-up. However, limitations such as the low numbers of pulsed and cooled RF treatments as well as potential data missing in the retrospective study should be noted.

Summary: This study evaluated the effectiveness and procedural characteristics of a novel ultrasound/fluoroscopically guided technique (longitudinal axis sacroiliac joint radiofrequency ablation) for sacroiliac joint denervation. The results demonstrated improvements in pain, disability, and quality of life with the longitudinal axis sacroiliac joint radiofrequency ablation technique. Compared to the palisade technique, the longitudinal axis sacroiliac joint radiofrequency ablation required longer procedure time but shorter fluoroscopy time.

Summary: This article is a systematic review of diagnostic tests for identifying the source of low back pain. The findings suggest that there are informative tests for the disc, sacroiliac joint, and facet joint, which can guide targeted treatment approaches.

Summary: Radiofrequency ablation can alleviate pain in the posterior sacroiliac joint complex, but research is limited by variations in selection criteria, nerves targeted, and technology used for radiofrequency ablation.

Summary: This systematic review suggests that primary sacroiliac joint fusion (SIJF) shows potential as a surgical treatment option for sacroiliac (SI) joint pathology, although the overall quality of evidence analyzed was low.

Summary: A modified Delphi strategy was used to obtain recommendations for the management of percutaneous radiofrequency treatment of lumbar facet joint syndrome due to poor quality literature. A comprehensive literature search was conducted, and a semi-structured questionnaire was developed. The need for standardized protocols to address this clinical problem and fill gaps in scientific evidence was emphasized.

Summary: The placebo effect is important in pain treatment outcomes, but patient expectations, hopes, and desires do not have an impact on the effectiveness of thermal neurotomy for pain relief according to this study.

Summary: The causes of bankruptcy for family firms differ from non-family firms, with family firms failing less often due to mismanagement and poor business-economic competencies, but being more susceptible to external bankruptcy causes.

Summary: Due to globalization and digitalization, the world of work is undergoing comprehensive change, which poses challenges to management accounting and pressures individuals and organizations to change. This study investigates the status quo, key factors, and assumed changes in careers in management accounting. The findings indicate that while these careers are changing, they still align with traditional organizational understanding, with accumulated professional experience being a key factor to achieving a management position. The study sheds light on the under-researched question of how careers in management accounting proceed and develop.
