The document discusses potential treatments for back pain including pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) therapy. PRF is described as a minimally invasive procedure that takes 10 minutes and has a 95% recovery rate, though its effectiveness for lower back pain specifically remains uncertain due to open questions. PRF is noted to have a neuromodulatory effect but its effectiveness ranges from 30-60% and involves delivering a 20ms pulse at 2 pulses per 120 seconds under local anesthesia.
