Although this procedure was initially intended to identify a pain generator that can be surgically treated with a fusion, it was eventually utilized to diagnose a contained disc herniation as well as internal disc disruption. Evolution of intradiscal procedures such as IntraDiscal Electrothermal Treatment (IDET), percutaneous disc decompression, cooled radiofrequency use for biacuplasty, etc, have led pain physicians to perform these procedures as minimally invasive treatment options for disc pathology.
