Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) with
intra-articular steroid injections in participants suffering from chronic lower back pain as
cause of facet joint arthritis (FJA).
The main question[s] it aims to answer are:
- Is LDRT non-inferior to intra-articular steroid injections in terms of pain reduction
- Is there a difference in long-term pain reduction between LDRT and intra-articular
steroid injections Participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment
groups.
