    Author: Münnich U, Kreckel V, Koy T, König DP, Heyll U.

    Abstract:
    Low back pain is a major physical and socioeconomic problem. A significant percentage is attributable to internal disc disruption (IDD). The management of IDD has been limited to conservative treatment or to operative treatment. Intradiscal electrothermal therapy (IDET) is a new minimal-invasive therapy. In carefully selected patients, it could be an effective treatment alternative. Further studies with long-term follow-up are necessary.
