Narrative review details multifidus muscle dysfunction post-rf ablation in chronic low back pain, suggesting clinical relevance.

Evidence indicates multifidus muscle may experience functional changes after lumbar radiofrequency ablation, impacting stabilization.
Two out of six studies confirmed reduced multifidus function following treatment, highlighting implications for patient recovery.
Cohort studies analyzed varying structural changes in multifidus post-ablation, showing inconsistent results across different studies.
Inconsistencies due to study design and patient populations suggest the need for further standardized research on multifidus impacts.

Garcia et al. (2025) studied this question.
