Intracept procedure is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radio frequency ablation to burn the nerves in the basivertebral part of the spine (Schnapp et al., 2023). This treats chronic lumbar pain in patients where other pain management is no longer effective (Schnapp et al., 2023). Intracept offers a longer relief for those living with chronic pain, studies have shown that it has been effective for long term relief (Schnapp et al., 2023).

In my opinion, this Intracept procedure is a great resource in pain management in that it can offer relief. However, in order to qualify for this procedure, a patient fail other pain management attempts, which can cause distress or more pain for the patient.
